Timeshare Owners Get Satisfaction!

In a recent study by the American Resort Development Association's (ARDA), most timeshare owners believe that their timeshares are better than hotels. In fact, when asked about their overall satisfaction with their timeshare property, 78% of the timeshare owners rated their property as "excellent". When timeshare owners were asked if they were getting good value for their money, 72% of the owners rated their properties as "excellent", compared to 58% of those who stayed in hotels.

According to Mike Hussey, ARDA's Chief of Staff, "timeshare owners are more satisfied with their overall vacation experience and feel that they get good value for their hard-earned money." In fact, the numbers back him up. In 1980, only about 155,000 households owned a timeshare at 500 resorts worldwide. Today, there are over 5,000 timeshare resorts with 4.5 million vacation owners worldwide. It seems as though more and more consumers are discovering that their timeshares satisfy their vacation needs!
