Since the 1950’s-60’s this tropical paradise has stood alone, introducing the world to the Aloha spirit: a warm atmosphere and people that compliment the island’s wonderful temperature. Despite the awkward American economy, timeshare occupancy on all of Hawaii’s six islands remains high and stable. BuyATimeshare.com, a leader in the timeshare resale industry, has been offering affordable deals on Hawaii timeshares for almost ten years.
Over the past year the American economy has taken countless blows. Travel and leisure have taken the brunt of the spending lull. Because of this pause, airlines and hotels have taken action—inflating their prices and shrinking inventory. Hawaii alone has lost 3,000 jobs, 95,000 airline seats and five overnight cruise ships during this economic downturn. Timeshare resorts throughout the state, like Westin Ka’anapali and Wyndham, were 88.6 percent full in the second quarter. That number is expected to increase to 91.9 percent for the third quarter, according to a recent study released by the American Resort Development Association.
Mitch Imanaka, chair of ARDA Hawaii said “these figures demonstrate once again that even during downturns in tourism, timeshare continues to stand out as a reliable source of revenue for Hawaii’s economy and provide jobs for Hawaii’s people. Ownership is the highest form of loyalty. It is clear timeshare owners are suing their scheduled vacation time in Hawaii because they have already paid for their accommodations. With the expense of their stay pre-paid, it’s easier for them to cover today’s higher airline ticket costs and overcome other economic concerns that are impeding travel to Hawaii.†In 2007 timeshare owners generated $41.4million in tax revenue. As of last year 6,952 Hawaii residents owned timeshare units throughout the state. Regardless of economic trends, BuyATimeshare.com has affordable array of vacations at Hawaii. These are top-shelf resorts like Marriott, Shell Vacations Club, and Diamond Resorts—priced to sell thousands of dollars less than what the developer would offer them
The incredible group of islands is almost its own country with sights that can only been seen while at Hawaii. There are spectacular shows of glowing lava from Kileaua Volcano, the world’s most active volcano, on Hawaii’s Big Island. Here travelers can gain access to regularly scheduled tours of the scorching scenery. Enjoy the surfing at the famed North shore of Oahu. Anytime of year is a good time to visit Hawaii. Summer months (April thru November) are warmer and dry at 75-80degrees Fahrenheit. The winter months (December thru March) are a bit cooler at 68-80degrees. It is the trade winds that keep things comfortable year-round.
