(USGovernment-News.Com, September 26, 2017 ) The vacation ownership industry, also referred to as the timeshare industry, enables consumers to share ownership of a fully furnished vacation accommodation. Typically, the consumer purchases either a title to a fraction of a unit or a right to use a property for a specific period of time. This is referred to as a Vacation Ownership Interest or VOI. VOIs are generally sold through weekly intervals or points based systems. Under the weekly intervals system, owners can use a specific unit at a specific resort often during a specific week of the year. Under the points based system, owners often have advanced reservation rights for a particular destination, but are free to redeem their points for various unit types and/or locations.
This sector was once dominated by private developers selling one-week fee intervals, but now includes publicly-traded hospitality companies actively developing a full range of offerings at different price points in resort and urban destinations. An increase in the factors like occupancy rates, average daily rate (ADR), and revenue per available room (RevPAR) have made significant contribution to the growth of the industry.
