Transfer Smart News: Awareness on Timesharing Still Growing

Primarily, the concept of timesharing was born due to its ability to cut vacation costs and make it affordable for the average consumers. However, this is not the case today. Many owners nowadays are having difficulties coping up with those annual fees and thus, want to get out of their timeshare contracts. Upon weighing this type of vacationing, there are a number of advantages and disadvantages that you can possibly cite. But what is clear today is that timesharing have become a trend and is gaining popularity for many people. As a matter of fact, a new survey has found that awareness of the different forms of timesharing continues to grow among Americans despite the difficult economic conditions.

The Ypartnership 2009 National Leisure Travel Monitor, who conducted the poll have found out that nine out of 10 travellers are now familiar with the concept of timesharing. According to Peter C. Yesawich, chairman of Ypartnership, the study's results reaffirm the inherent appeal of vacation ownership as both a desirable alternative to conventional lodging and a terrific value relative to its cost. The survey also revealed that the American travellers continue to view timesharing as a desirable alternative to conventional vacation accommodations such as traditional hotels and resorts while 15% reported owning vacation time.

Since the economic downturn broke out in the late of 1997, the timeshare industry is reaping a negative image from most consumers. The recent crisis also made most owners want to get rid of their timeshares due to increasing fees. Some of these owners even hire a timeshare transfer company such as the Transfer Smart just to get rid of such property. But despite these, timesharing is still viewed by many as a great to vacation. And given preferable economic conditions, many consumers would still opt for this form of vacationing.
