Continued Timeshare Owner Satisfaction
Friday, October 23rd, 2009Recent surveys of the timeshare industry demonstrate continued owner satisfaction. The timeshare industry uses various types of studies to measure timeshare guest or timeshare owner satisfaction. The State of the Vacation Timeshare Industry: United States Study 2009 is prepared by primarily using data provided by the timeshare resorts, timeshare developers, and management companies, through a survey commissioned by the ARDA International Foundation (AIF) and conducted by Ernst & Young LLP.
The study has demonstrated that there is continued owner satisfaction with timeshares. One fact cited by the study point out that 41% of timeshare sales are from timeshare buyers who already own a timeshare with that developer. The AIF report also showed that timeshare resorts were able to add timeshare units and that timeshare occupancy rates have actually increased, with approximately 67% of resorts being at least 80% occupied, and 40% having occupancy of at least 90%.
