Marriott Steps In For Historical Win July 27, 2009

Most timeshare resorts don’t have much history attached to their structures. Even resorts in areas that feature historic attractions – such as timeshares in Williamsburg;, Virginia or Hilton Head Island timeshares in South Carolina – are often very new buildings designed to resemble their aged surroundings. However, the Marriott Custom House in Boston is not your average timeshare resort. For starters, the building itself is one of Boston’s most recognizable skyscrapers and has been a staple of the Boston Harbor skyline for since the addition of the tower section of the building around 1910. To give you an idea of the age of the building, it was originally completed in 1849.

For many years the Marriott Custom House in Boston was the actual custom house that inspected cargo coming in to Boston Harbor. The customs department moved to a different building in the mid-80s leaving the building to city surplus property and then available to be purchased.

And the rest is history…

The move has been praised by both the city of Boston and the National Trust for Historical Preservation because Marriott converting it into a timeshare condo ensures the building will remain a part of Boston for a long time. The move also benefits Marriott as they can now provide the only timeshare accommodations in Boston proper and allow the owners to enjoy an unrivaled view of the city. The building is 30 stories and holds 84 timeshare units. Even in a city with more than 200 years of history it is a real treat to stay inside a piece of cherished history.

The timeshare industry has brought us affordable vacationing and access to the world’s finest luxury resorts. Recent straits in the U.S economy however, have triggered companies to pare staff by the thousand. Unemployment has grown to 7.2 percent nationally. In the aftermath of a tough credit market, top brands in the hospitality industry have shed sales departments and are in the process of scaling down.

Due to an increase in the demand for selling and renting timeshares, the resale market is witnessing a boom.

International Interest in Timeshare and Resales January 16, 2009

Despite economic troubles in the U.S, the economy has not really affected global interest in timeshare. Vacationing abroad is still popular and rebounding after a summer fraught with high fuel prices and struggling timeshare developers. All over the world, people are paying attention to the timeshare phenomenon—finding an inexpensive portal to a luxurious vacation thousands of miles away from home.

Hospitality Superpowers like Wyndham, Marriott, Starwood and Hilton have become nearly dependant on timeshares in recent years. 2008 was especially disagreeable to developers, evaporating their market value considerably. Wyndham Worldwide expects about a $1billion slip in vacation ownership sales over 2009. A trend that swept through the industry eliminated sales offices and marketing programs. Brands are predicting that 2009 will be tough as demand is anticipated to weaken further.

International occupancy of U.S timeshare has grown from about $2.7 billion $10.6 billion in a mere decade. Regardless of recent news, worldwide interest in timeshares has not slowed. Timeshare ownerships in countries like India are running rampid. RCI has witnessed a 39 percent growth rate from 2007 to 2008. RCI says it has seen a 40 percent increase in confirmed sales from its members in Goa, India over 2008.

Hilton Grand Vacations Club has noticed a remarkable correlation between international tourism and timeshare use. In response to this, Hilton has opened the Grand Waikikian, its fifth resort on Hawaii. The Aloha State had reported a declined in tourism down to a hotel occupancy of only 60 percent. Though the sum of U.S visitors to Hawaii is dropping off, there recent reports illustrate an increase in international tourism visiting timeshare destinations in Hawaii.

Due to the ever-growing popularity of timeshares, European parliament is working to tighten rules on EU timeshares companies. Timesharing is becoming widely used among Europeans who had been dealing with decades of bogus sales and resale companies. BuyATimeshare.com has been seeing this increase in offers from international vacationers, adding staff to compensate. Most of the people that visit our site are from all over the globe. They have dealt with scams before and are typically seeking a reputable company to help them—BuyATimeshare.com the company they chose.

BuyATimeshare.com Provides Affordable Timeshare Vacations in Todays Economy December 28, 2008

In times when the U.S economy has been so rough, panic is setting in everywhere. The timeshare market had initially seemed impervious to housing troubles. But now throngs of people are being laid off and those who do have jobs are in a struggle. Fuel prices are dropping a bit but the airfare has not really changed. We are all feeling the pressure, though it is not too late to book travel. In this downturn it does not mean the end of vacations, holiday trips, and business travel.

Even during this year’s summertime hike in fuel prices, the timeshare market shook only a little. But as troubles affect everyone, the credit crunch has crushed so much that the timeshare market is crumbling under it own weight. After months and months of timeshare owners failing to afford leisure travel, more folks are unable to pay the fees and the financing of the $40,000 property they were sold by the developer.

But this is about timeshares, they are a great luxury when traveling and they can save you thousand of dollars on a trip anywhere across 6 continents. BuyATimeshare.com can get you cash for unwanted or unused timeshares. We bring a venue to the worldwide internet for buyers to find top brand resorts for 30 to 50 percent what the developer would market them for. When the owner of a timeshare was sold their package, chances are they were pressured a bit, convinced they could afford the grossly overpriced timeshare given the right financing.

Fitch Ratings illustrates the stressed timeshare marketplace with a timeshare ABS index that tracks the performance of the Asset Backed Securities. Fitch has reported a 34 percent increase in total delinquencies and a 52 percent increase in defaults. The outlook for the winter months, which is usually tough on resorts anyway, looks just as dreary. What is the reason for such poor performance? The timeshare debts being sold to the open market are not being honored. The developers are loosing their grip on the idealistic dream that everyone can afford a timeshare costing upwards of $30,000 USD.

But buying a timeshare can be done—cheap! Though high-pressure sales tactics get the job done, the debt cannot be honored if the consumer can genuinely not afford it. As the market gets tougher people aren’t abandoning timeshare as a travel alternative—the answer is finding better ways to acquire them.

The resale market is seeing this trend. While others still do take vacations and travel for the holidays, with airline surcharges doubling prices, most folks are not in a position to pay for them. Today most believe the reason to travel could not compare to the cost. As destitute timeshare owners are looking to sell off their burden, the resale market provides a way to transfer them to another person, and get cash for your vacation property.

The for-sale-by-owner market is priced to sell and a reliable way to buy without sales pressure. BuyATimeshare.com gives you a way to find thousands of timeshares and a team of timeshare professionals to handle the entire closing process. In an unsure market place, it is important to know where you can find the best services in an unpleasant economic environment.

Timeshare Gain Popularity Among Former Vacation Homeowners May 16, 2008

A trend is forming in the timeshare market. Over the recent months more and more buyers have been people who have previously owned vacation homes. In today’s economic upheaval, fractional ownership and timesharing are starting to look less like a scam, and more like a reasonable, economically sound alternative to owning a separate vacation home.

The unparalleled benefits of timeshare ownership are even better when you can save thousands of dollars when buying. The timeshare resale market found on BuyATimeshare.com has hundreds of properties, for-sale-by-owner, with prices that are well below what a resort’s salespeople will attempt to sell them for.

For awhile, the timeshare resale market was a well-kept secret in hospitality industry, known only by brokers and seasoned timeshare owners. Resorts do not want their vacations peddled for thousands of dollars less, when they can sell the same package for $40,000.00.

Recently people have begun selling their multi-million dollar vacation homes, taking up timeshare ownership. After considering the maintenance costs and property tax for such little annual usage—owning that second piece of property does not make financial sense. Now, instead of paying maintenance fees that cover cleaning services, taxes, insurance, future furniture replacement, costs to maintain the resort, plus operational costs for management and personnel.

These annual maintenance fees are quite small in comparison to a mortgage, insurance and home maintenance costs. With no mortgage, your money is not tied up in one huge investment. A recent trend in our timeshare resale show that many former vacation homeowners now own multiple weeks—especially after seeing the many benefits, luxuries, and affordability of timeshare ownership.

To make ends meet, vacation home owners will often rent their second home out. This becomes a burden to the owner who is responsible for any maintenance issues, all repair, and scheduling tenants, guests and family, until, vacationing becomes more work than it is worth. That same owner can simply check out of a timeshare, with no concerns about the property, finally, vacationing becomes enjoyable.

With today’s huge exchange companies like RCI, II, and TPI, patrons can swap one or more weeks for a stay at thousands of luxury resorts for a variety of vacation experiences. Many of these ex-vacation homeowners have opted for these multiple destination packages—not affixed to a specific resort headquarters. These options have the most to offer those who vacation often and appreciate a change of scenery.

At BuyATimeshare.com there are hundreds of multi-destination packages, priced to sell by motivated owners. These timeshares are your best option of saving thousands of dollars on you next vacation—reaping the benefits of fractional ownership, without owning, renting, maintaining, or worrying about a second home. Finally enjoy your next vacation.

Myrtle Beach’s Hard Rock Park Gaining Speed May 8, 2008

Myrtle Beach’s own 140 acre Rock ‘n Roll Theme Park is a jewel encrusted in the heart of Fantasy Harbour complex in South Carolina. Unfortunately, since its opening on April 15, 2008, this sought after destination is being masked by vacant lots and abandoned buildings. The premier Hard Rock Park celebrates Rock’s culture, lifestyle, and the legends that have changed history. Offering a vast array of amusement rides, live shows, shopping and dining attractions, as well as the main attraction—the massive roller coasters.

After a huge investment and years of planning, the famed roller coasters can barely been seen from the busy highway U.S. 501, just peeping over the remnants of the former Waccamaw Factory Shoppes—the same parcel of land the park was constructed on. Why hide such a treasure? That question is exactly why some people are looking into turning the vacant lot into an all access entry to Hard Rock Park, with restaurants and shops to draw in the public, rather than an empty space for them to pass by. And such changes may hit Fantasy Harbour yet.

Paradise City is a complex on the drawing board that may or may not replace the eyesore in front of the spectacular theme park. Another idea that is up in the air is a great 120 unit timeshare resort, known only as Backstage Resorts to be built next to Medieval Times on Harbour Boulevard.

Even though no official plans have been submitted, contractors like Winter Park Construction and L2 Studios Inc. have confirmed that they too are working with Backstage Resorts. They have started advertising a dozen online jobs, stating that sales and marketing will start this summer. The official Grand Opening for Hard Rock Park is June 2, 2008 where a concert by the Eagles will kick off the festivities. However, Steve Goodwin, Hard Rock Park’s chief executive officer said that he has no plans ready to release for the empty property just outside of the theme park. “I own that property and I submitted no plans to the county” stated Goodwin, “we haven’t announced anything and I haven’t done anything with that property.”

The empty lots around the Park have yet to be built into something, though changes are to hit the Fantasy Harbour neighborhood. The site where the Waccamaw Factory Shoppes once stood will become a $300million complex with hotels, homes, stores, fine restaurants and an entertainment venue. The property was purchased by Next Step Partners LLC. Currently the only thing to attract people is a single digital sign aimed at the busy U.S. 501, promoting South Carolina’s newest heavyweight attraction, Hard Rock Park.

Myrtle Bach, Fantasy Harbor, and South Carolina are increasingly becoming popular destinations for those looking for an affordable, stateside beach paradise. Vacation-goers have enjoyed this area for generations, seeking out the championship golf, exquisite seafood, and fantastic beaches and shimmering seawater. At BuyATimeshare.com we have hundreds of these properties for sale by owner and priced to sell. Enjoy your next vacation at South Carolina’s premium beachside destination by renting or buying a first-class timeshare property at a world-renowned resort, with no fees, no commission, no broker fees, and no sales pressure.

Cynthia’s Las Vegas Vacation Continues with Hilton Grand Vacation April 24, 2008

In beautiful sunny Las Vegas, my journey throughout the various timeshare resorts continued on. After a trying trip with the folk at Westgate, I moved on toward downtown Vegas, at the lower end of the legendary strip. It was here that my long day paid off and was fortunate enough to visit the Hilton Grand Vacation at Las Vegas. This was my favorite among the many resorts I toured.

In order to truly understand the many resorts in this area I had to experience the room and find out firsthand the programs and packages available. The sales tour was effortless. After my last timeshare encounter I expected a slow, 4 hour visit. However, I found that after 40minutes we were given our lunch and complimentary tickets to a Toni Braxton show. There were no pushy sales representatives and I was able to learn and see a lot about this lovely resort.
The rooms were huge, fit for a King, though reasonably priced per dollar. I learned that when you bank your points with Hilton, they last forever—rather than expiring after a couple of years like with RCI or Interval International. With such a refined and posh look, this was certainly the level of comfort I could get used to. The view of Las Vegas and the awesome strip of casinos and restaurants were wonderful. More geared toward a family vacation, there is a kid-friendly side as is an adult side to the resort—separating the activity from the luxury.
The resort holds a great 5star restaurant near the lobby—this is a rare find in many resorts and is often a sought-after amenity. The Hilton Grand Vacation was definitely the best buy over all of the resorts I visited. And although the prices were not unreasonable, buyatimeshare.com advertises for motivated people looking to sell their timeshares. This is beneficial for serious buyers looking to save thousands of dollars. The developer will add as many extras as they can muster, but in the end, you’re only buying the room for a short stay each year. Save your money and come visit Las Vegas the right way, with buyatimeshare.com.
