After announcing that two more resorts will be added to the Holiday Inn Club Vacations repertoire, it opened the ski-in, ski-out resort at the foot of Ascutney Mountain in Brownsville, Vermont. With the recent acquisition of its flagship resort at Orange Lake in Orlando, Florida, Holiday Inn plunged into the timeshare sector hand in hand with hotelier giant IHG.

This alliance allowed IHG to entire the timeshare industry, by simply piggy-backing through a marketing agreement, without having to invest a dime. Orange Lake will continue to own and operate these resorts as a privately owned company.

“We’re pleased to offer our consumers a memorable brand experience at the only ski-in, ski-out snow destination in the Holiday Inn U.S. portfolio” explained Christian Hampell, vice president, Holiday Inn Club Vacations. “We’re excited to include Ascutney Mountain Resort as the fourth Holiday Inn Club Vacations property as part of our alliance with Orange Lake, with our fifth and sixth resort joining the brand in April.”

In addition to Holiday Inn Club Vacations’ September 2008 merge with IHG and their alliance with Orange Lake, Holiday Inn has nestled itself nicely with a mammoth ally and a nice timeshare niche that has already been established.

As its strategy unfurls, Holiday Inn Club Vacations announced the addition of two more resorts. In Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, and Panama City, Florida, it has more recently announced that the timeshare brand will be adding another pair of resorts in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, and Myrtle Beach, South Carolina by April, 2009.

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. Consumers are finding affordable vacationing during economic hardship and owners are getting their timeshares sold. Contrary to current conditions, BuyATimeshare.com has employment opportunities during a companywide upgrade.

The New Hampshire-based timeshare reseller and marketing firm, BuyATimeshare.com owners Wes Kogelman and Jason Hamilton grew up in the granite state and want to offer a legitimate solution for individuals looking to sell or rent their timeshare properties.

Kogelman stated “We have the most aggressive marketing program to bring buyers and seller of timeshare properties together; we’ve shown success with all timeshare properties throughout the world and want to offer people a risk free way to sell or rent their timeshare properties.”

As a vacation property ownership can bring years of affordable vacationing, likewise they can become a liability. While annual maintenance fees pile up for some owners, others are unable to even enjoy their vacation property year after year. A growing number of people are liquidating assets and scurrying to pay their inflated home mortgages, BuyATimeshare.com has created the resale marketplace on their website to help in your efforts.

This is a significant tool in a world driven by internet technology. More and more owners cannot afford, do not use, or are just looking to sell or rent their vacation properties. “We’ve listened to our consumers and want to do everything possible to help.

In today’s economy, BuyATimeshare.com is looking to help however it can. The company’s founders are offering an inexpensive route to worldwide exposure.

No More Resale Scams or Timeshare Tricks January 19, 2009

Regardless if someone can convince you to buy, if you cannot afford it—you cannot have it! It is this fact that has crushed the timeshare developers, with more asset backed securities going delinquent and defaulting everyday.

Recent actions have deplored the timeshare industry even further. The same developers that have become household names have been caught using unethical sales tactics so many times throughout 2008 that it is no wonder the outlook for 2009 and 2010 is so grim. So many deceptive and archaic sales practices are still in use. It is surprising that brands like Wyndham, Westgate, and Bluegreen, thought they could treat people like that! After a few years we won’t stand for that will we?!

Current press however, is revealing to the public that such high-pressure sales are inevitable, and that lying takes place during each presentation. Perhaps after enough time these tactics will disappear from timeshare completely. Such menacing techniques have gained the attention of multiple Attorney Generals from across the country. Bluegreen was caught in obvious bait & switch schemes as they lured over 5000 Pennsylvania residents with a tropical getaway and ‘free’ airfare.

Bluegreen instead subjected the victims to high-pressure sales presentations. This is exactly the kind of approach that has tarnished the timeshare industry for so long. They successfully scammed more than $100 million from Pennsylvania residents alone—with no free airfare in sight. Westgate, still celebrating its topping off of Planet Hollywood Towers in Las Vegas, laid off portions of their staff (probably to help pay for the endeavor). A few weeks later Westgate was hit with $1 million in punitive damages.

On behalf of 30 Utah residents the courts found the Florida-based timeshare firm guilty of attracting people to its resort using travel vouchers that were too difficult to redeem. At BuyATimeshare.com we feel it is this type of unethical practices that have sealed the fate of the industry. Marked as lying and underhanded, it is not creative press that paints the picture, but coverage of facts that reveals the true colors of these companies.

These types of sales have long been red-flagged as a scam in the timeshare industry. The resale market has been trying to accomplish where the developers have failed—offering affordable vacation properties without extra fees or sales pressure. It is this dedication to customer protection and satisfaction that will ensure our business is not built on lies, and will not crumble under the weight of reality.

When we last visited Planet Hollywood Towers by Westgate Resorts, the Fourth of July, star-studded topping-off celebration was underway. As time progresses and the project evolves, it is clear that these towers will offer a unique opportunity for vacation ownership. Westgate is looking to open the towers on New Year’s 2011. This 50-story glass giant will be the largest purpose-built timeshare resort in the world. “Own a piece of the strip” says Westgate, with their towers growing on the famed Las Vegas Strip.

The awe-inspiring blue glass towers will boast 1,200 beautifully appointed vacation villas. With a total of 3.2 million square feet of living space, the Planet Hollywood Towers will offer suites ranging in size from 1- to 4-bedrooms, with 28 exclusive suites ranging from 4,000 to 10,000 square feet. The towers will be fully integrated with the all-new Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino for an unparalleled Las Vegas vacation experience.

To go along with this tremendous undertaking, the neighboring Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino by Sheraton has recently completed its exterior and public-space remodel. The resort is also in the process of completely redoing their guestrooms. Wrapping itself around the Resort & Casino is The Miracle Mile Mall, which is also in its first leg of a major makeover. Though both properties are owned separately, they are directly connected. Together they will offer a vacation experience unavailable anywhere else in the world.

Scaffolding, that shielded the tower for so many months, is finally gone, exposing the dynamic shape of the first of two towers. The unique balconies can be seen as the immense building takes form. Connecting the Towers and the Planet Hollywood Resort will give guests and owners direct access to amenities like the all new Planet Hollywood Casino. The list continues with 12 premium restaurants featuring an eclectic range of cuisine and a full-service shopping mall with more than 140 shops.

At BuyATimeshare.com there are multiple Westgate and Sheraton properties available—including various Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino packages. Enjoy a resort by a leading brand name in the hospitality industry and gain access to numerous vacation properties priced thousands of dollars less than what developers will sell them for—see what we have to offer.

At the patriotic-themed topping-off gala, David A. Siegel, president and CEO of Westgate Resorts, Robert Earl, co-chairman of the Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino, Mike Mecca, president and CEO of Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino, Sylvester Stallone, Governor Jim Gibbons, along with civic leaders, government officials, employees and friends of Westgate Resorts all joined to celebrate the safe and successful attainment of the highest point of vertical construction in Las Vegas history.

The event included raising a 50-foot American flag to the top of the building and featured live entertainment. Siegel stated “I am especially proud that our development is located at the most significant location on the Las Vegas strip. We are the world’s first vacation ownership resort directly connected to a major casino and retail shopping complex, surrounded by the most prestigious properties in Las Vegas. We believe Planet Hollywood Towers by Westgate will provide our 400,000 timeshare owners with vacation experience unavailable anywhere else on the world.”
