As the economy shifts, we as consumers are changing the way we spend. Millions of people buy and sell their commodities online, to find the best deal and the largest pool of buyers ever. Today, buying your vacation getaway is no different. The resort developers aren’t changing their ways. The convenience of the resale market has become a popular stay-at-home solution to buying and renting a vacation property—for a fraction of the price.

The big hoteliers are still relying on the age-old tactics to lure the consumer into a persuasive sales presentation with airline tickets and freebies for bait. Internet-based solutions like BuyATimeshare.com are saving vacationers thousands of dollars on week stays at luxury resorts.

This advertising firm has been specializing in timeshares for more than a decade. BuyA Timeshare.com and Sell A Timreshare.com provide the necessary exposure for today’s owner to liquidate their properties online. This marketplace has made timesharing easy, affordable and fun again. Shopping from home in a no-pressure, stress-free buying environment will save you money and will make the vacationing experience so much more enjoyable.

Analyst at Bloomberg.com has recognized the resale market at Sell A Timeshare.com to be successful in finding impressive resale bargains at top brands in the hospitality industry. A rental property could cost as little as $800-$1000 for a week at a Marriott resort! Though sales figures at the resorts have dropped significantly since the onset of the recession in 2008, owners are still vacationing and occupancy remains strong. Tight consumer spending and a dry credit market have made the sale of any high-end property very difficult for the suave salesman.

Wyndham has reported that it will cut 40% of its timeshare sector in order to improve cash flow and stock prices. Marriott has taken action to battle the harsh recession. By cutting prices, development and perhaps even selling some of its undeveloped land, the hotelier expects to harvest what it can from its timeshare products. The lack of available financing has forced many of the 180 million new owners every year, to look for other way of enjoying these resorts.

If you agree that when on vacation your pets require the same quality accommodations as we do, you will be happy to know that there are dozens of resorts available. You do not have to rely on friends and family or a kennel service to care of your furry companions. BuyATimeshare.com has dozens of pet friendly timeshare resorts in inventory. Included is a list: arranged by exchange companies Interval International (II) and Resort Condominiums International (RCI).

As an important part of our family, pet friendly resorts are becoming popular throughout the world. Often a necessity among today’s mobile population, BuyATimeshare.com can find the pet friendly vacation to suite a large family or an intimate getaway. The needs of a pet vary and there are some details to consider when planning your next vacation:

Make sure there is enough room for pets to play at the destination. A dog needs room to roam, walk, and… vacation. Nearby trails or mountains, fields and ponds are all great for dogs. Urban settings may be more suited for cats and small dogs as the bustle of a city may be too much for some dogs.

If your pet has a medical condition, they may need extra consideration. Vacationing far from home may not be the best choice for pets with illness, or limited. Always contact the resort to inquire about any breed or weight restrictions when planning a vacation.

When traveling abroad, it is important to plan well-ahead of time. If vacationing in another country, be sure to contact both the airline and the resort to learn all about their pet regulations. Some airlines allow pets as carry-on, it is important to research all guidelines before booking.

Well-socialized dogs that enjoy meeting new friends and exploring new environments will typically like a vacation away. An aggressive or nervous temperament may not be best to travel. Sometimes traveling is not the best way for your pet to vacation. Before making reservation, determine the resort’s rules about pets.

Establish communication with the resort and understand what “Pet Friendly” means to them. Often times the pets are welcome in the suites, sometimes it means there is simply onsite kennel service. Expect a “pet deposit” to cover any potential damages to the resort. Remember that Pet Friendly is for your convenience and is not for everyone; make sure it is not too much for your pet to travel.

Timeshare Resale Market Keeps Big Brand Resorts Selling and Rented October 28, 2009

Buy A Timeshare.com has helped thousands of people sell, buy and rent their timeshares. Even though the economy changes, the consumer will always need a place to buy inexpensive vacation properties, and a place to liquidate the ones they already have. With an all-out recession wearing away at timeshare developers, timeshare use and resort occupancy remains high. Companies like Wyndham and Marriott have stated revenue is down, but they are still able to thrive as vacationers continue to use the time at the resorts they have paid for.

Occupancy rates are still much higher than projected, and while many resort developers are witnessing a dive in sales, Buy A Timeshare.com has been the solution for record-setting amounts of people looking to secure a bargain vacation. Thanks to innovations in online marketing and search engine optimization, this company continues to be the dominant force in the worldwide timeshare resale industry. The most sought-after brands in the world are available online for a mere percentage of what the resort will sell them for. With Bluegreen, Shell, and Hilton properties all selling for thousands of dollars less, it is no wonder the resale market is so popular!

Analyst at Bloomberg.com recognized the resale market and Sell A Timeshare.com as an alternative to paying too much for a timeshare property. A rental property could cost as little as $800-$1000 for a week at a luxury resort! Consumers are more computer savvy than they were a decade ago. A large portion of the sales decline big brand developers are seeing is in-part, due to the success of the resale market. Millions of people are exposed to the internet daily. Online sales are how today’s buyer purchases nearly everything. Why attend a presentation and buy for full price when the resale market can provide the same properties for a percent of the retail price?

Wyndham Worldwide, the largest seller of timeshare vacations in the nation, has had some success recovering from the recession. And while the sales are down, people are still flocking to there magnificent resorts everyday. Analysts at JPMorgan explained that Wyndham will cut 40% of its timeshare sector in order to improve cash flow and stock prices. Marriott has also taken action to battle the harsh recession. By cutting prices, development and perhaps even selling some of its undeveloped land, the hotelier expects to harvest what it can from its timeshare industry.

Chris Woronka, an analyst at Deutsche Bank Securities said “the main obstacle for the industry is that there will be a semi-permanent reduction in demand because developers would sell to people with relatively low credit scores. That won’t be possible anymore. This decline is a first for the industry since 1975. As tighter credit and slowed consumer spending has been affecting every facet of business. A loss of 6.9 million jobs since the recession started in December 2007 has made every consumer weary of spending.

Howard Nusbaum, president of the ARDA said the market will remain challenging for the next 18 months as research shows that timeshare has lost its appeal and its affordability. Though the downturn has hit tourism particularly hard, timeshares, due to its pre-paid nature, is better equipped that most to weather a downturn. The good news, he said, is that timeshare owners are still vacationing, and occupancy remains strong.

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.

Hotel Brands Continue to Cut Staff in Timeshare Sector January 27, 2009

Layoffs continue to pile up as 2009 proves to be as bad for employment as December 2008 was. Spreading like wildfire, Hilton Grand Vacations is following suite with 187 of their 3,500 timeshare employees let go. Marriott is cutting at least 134 people by mid-February due to the infamous tightening of credit. Bluegreen is another top brand in the hospitality industry that has continued to shed 60% its workforce to stay afloat.

The need for sales staff has declined to a point that most companies are grinding down their marketing and timeshare sales positions altogether. Marriott and Hilton continue construction of new resorts however. Representatives repeat over and over that their timeshare segments are suffering because of the tight credit market, declining real estate values and less spending by fearful consumers. Hilton is excited about discussing plans for expansion however, but will not comment on the numerous layoffs.

BuyATimershare.com is seeing exponential grown and is in the midst of augmenting its staff to keep pace with the success. As timeshare developers decay, people are eager to get rid of their vacation properties. Still cooling off after opening a new resort in Hawaii, Hilton still speaks optimistically.

A representative said that plans to expand in Orlando’s tourist corridor are underway and Hilton is eager to discuss its expansion in the Sunshine State. Diamond Resorts had considered acquiring Bluegreen for $15 per share plus all outstanding debts. Today that would be quite a bargain since Bluegreen has drastically reduced its growth and budget in light of the economic credit crunch. Bluegreen, after cutting over 2000 jobs, are considering further cutbacks.

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.

The Grand Waikikian Resort by Hilton December 22, 2008

Hilton’s newest timeshare endeaver, the Grand Waikikian Resort, is a state-of-the-art resort offering high-end amenities and spacious penthouse units. Hilton is enthusiastic about the undertaking, despite the current U.S. economic situation and lower than average visiting travel to Hawaii. BuyATimeshare.com offers numerous Hilton timeshares in the breathtaking islands of Hawaii.

Hilton’s historic resort is the first purpose-built timeshare resort on the beaches Waikiki’s famed landscape. With over 200 attendees at the official grand opening, it marked the beginning of a new timeshare jewel encrusted in the crown of Hawaii lush gardens and pristine waters. Other Hilton properties were converted from old hotels and apartment buildings, but the Grand Waikikian Resort will bestow the finest in elegant resort amenities.

In a hostile economic environment, most projects fall victim to the credit crunch and never make it off the drawing board. Mark Wang, president of Hilton Grand Vacations, said demand is steady, with people eager to own a piece of Hawaii. “We’re 27% sold—that’s actually ahead of pace,” Wang said. “We though we’d only be about 20% sold out by this time.”

There are over 330 units at the Grand Waikikian. This is the fifth timeshare development in Hawaii, with 2 on Oahu and 2 on Hawaii’s Big Island. Hilton has also tailored the resort to the taste of high-income Japanese travelers, and those of the U.S. West Coast, who have already shown interest in the project.

“The $300,000 weeks have sold out during this release,” said Bryan Klum, executive vice president of Asia/ Pacific for Hilton Grand Vacations. “The people who are traveling are the ones that want to come.” Hilton has always been popular with international travelers, with a portfolio that span across the globe. Enjoy the vast inventory of Hilton and Hilton Grand Vacations at BuyATimeshare.com and pay less than half what you rent or buy on the resale market.

Travel Industry Rebounds in Poor Economy November 8, 2008

Despite folks paring costs anywhere they can, consumers have not completely cut leisure travel out of their lifestyle. The travel industry is bouncing back. People who do still travel are adapting their annual routine, staying closer to home for a change. The attitude that followed the U.S. financial crisis has caused people to vacation at their own part of the country—enjoying their nearby cities and mountains. People are seeking more local destinations, finding unbeatable deals on their own side of the ocean and not giving up their plans to travel.

Rather than buying airfare to cross the open seas, Americans are exploring Canada, Mexico, Central and South America. Both the Peso and the Canadian dollar have dropped significantly, making travel to these country and great value for neighboring Americans. Today, people are forced to look deeper for deals on everything from gas to Christmas presents. They are beginning to explore the timeshare industry as an alternative to hotels or staying the night on grandma’s futon.

Owners of timeshares at far-off tropical destinations for instance, have not been able to ante up to the airfare, let alone venture the cost of fun. So their international timeshare sits and waits while the owner searches further to get the best deal for this year’s holiday trip. At timeshare resale companies like BuyATimeshare.com we are seeing a tendency in those who rent and buy timeshares. Consumers are placing less emphasis on international trips, only traveling as far as Hawaii to vacation, and renting a resort near their family for the holidays.

People are become more educated about the timeshare industry they are reaping the benefits of the resale market. BuyATimeshare.com has made buying timeshares on the resale market as easy as it gets. Like everything, you always pay less when it’s ‘used.’ But a stay at a luxury resort does not carry any ‘used-car’ problems—and will cost far less than retail. The search for value is greater than ever and travelers will cut back on spending by shortening trips and down scaling the level of hotel they stay at, and have switched to a more local destination. With companies like BuyATimeshare.com looking to sell timeshares, there is no reason to spend too much or cut back too much on your next vacation.
