Timeshare Market Impact:

• Resort Timesharing Worldwide - 2003 (pdf)
  "Boosted by strong sales growth, especially in the large U.S. market, the international timeshare industry reached $9.4 billion in sales during 2002. With over 5,400 resorts in more than 100 countries, the industry plays an increasingly prominent role in the world tourism industry. Some 6.7 million households own the rights to about 10.7 million timeshare weeks. Satisfaction rates remain high, upwards of 80% in most major markets. High satisfaction rates, affordability, and low market penetration hold the promise for future industry growth."
• U.S. Timeshares: $66.7 Billion Economic Impact in 2002
  PricewaterhouseCoopers' study cites resorts' benefits to surrounding regions, including repeat visitors, jobs, consumer expenditures, high occupancy rates, and industry stability.
