Recent studies from the American Resort Development Association better known as ARDA recently published its 2016 worldwide shared ownership report. The verdict is in and the case study or report conclusively shows that timeshare sales are up globally and in specific key markets such as New York, Miami, Los Angeles, Orlando and more. Timeshares resales are experiencing a dramatic upswing, along with increased occupancy rates, and more and more families being interested in the overall vacation ownership model. The timeshare industry has really seen a coming of age scenario, where timeshare companies are attracting younger, more educated, more affluent timeshare buyers thanks to consumer changes in the industry. The timeshare industry continues to make vast improvements being more consumer friendly and more transparent, largely due major hospitality chains such as Wyndham, Hilton, Hyatt, Ritz-Carlton, Starwood, and Four Seasons. There has been a major shift in the age or demographic of market owners. Though the average median age of timeshare owners in 2015 was 51, this concept resounds loudly with younger people. New timeshare owners are younger, better educated, more affluent and diverse. These buyers are looking for ways to enhance their family vacations with more space, for everyone to truly unwind, and expect a lot of amenities and experiences for everyone in the family.
