Throughout 2008 and 2009 straits in the U.S economy have triggered companies to pare staff by the thousand.

Going Green The New Catch Phrase But What Does It Really Mean May 29, 2009
Posted by John Copain in : Travel, Wyndham Timeshares , add a commentExamining Green Projects and Eco-Tourism from Another Perspective
Everywhere you go these days you hear about this green movement or this eco friendly program, which is great because these things need to happen to ensure the comfort and health of our future generations. But sometimes when a phrase is tossed around a lot the meaning gets lost. This happens a lot in leisure service industries and as an organization that cares greatly for the planet and the preservation of the environment we thought it might be a good idea to point out some successful green projects and movements in the timeshare industry.
There have been some small steps in the right direction made by some of the biggest timeshare developer names in the industry such as Wyndham Hotels and Resorts who was applauded for their implementation of eco-friendly uniforms for their employees. The uniforms are made from recycled plastic that is woven into a fine fiber material, keeping plastics out of landfills. The uniforms also do not need to be cleaned with conventional chemicals that can produce pollutant byproducts.
However, the scope of eco-friendly programs can go much deeper. For example the Florida Green Lodging Program is an organization that “acknowledges and promotes lodging facilities that demonstrate water and energy conservation, waste minimization, recycling, indoor air quality, environmentally preferable purchasing, program sustainability, and pollution prevention.” Such timeshare resorts as The Inn at Wildwood and The Sutherland Crossing Resort are just two of hundreds of establishments whose applications have been accepted into the program. The Florida Green Lodging Program was established by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection in 2004.
And yet being eco-friendly goes even further. Some timeshare developers are even careful about where they build their timeshare resorts. This is perhaps the most important, but also the most overlooked component of the hospitality industries green movement efforts. To build a resort there has to be land to accommodate the property. A lot of times the land that is used is the same dwindling habitat that many endangered species and plant life rely on. This is currently a big struggle in parts of Mexico and Central America. Prospective timeshare owners that are interested in vacation ownership, but want to remain eco-friendly should consider this when looking for timeshare property to purchase.
Eco-tourism is another catch phrase that gets used often, but sometimes misunderstood. It is a common misconception that eco-tourism refers to activities like jungle zip-lining and white river rafting. Eco-tourism in fact refers to environmentally friendly vacationing. Considering things like public or mass transportation instead of private shuttles helps to lessen the amount of pollution put into the atmosphere – this would be an example of eco-tourism. If you are a lover of water activities than you could seek out a sailing trip instead of a voyage on a motorized vessel. This helps to lessen water pollution. As more and more vacationers start to consider the environment during their travels the preservation of the environment more and more comes to fruition. Considering the future of the planet is important in every industry and to every individual – especially if you are looking into a lifetime deeded membership or long-term RTU! Travel safe, friends! And remember the Earth is your friend too.

The company did not disclose specific information about the proceedings but Wyndham did mention that the 33 timeshare owners owed more than $10,000 each. A timeshare property is often expensive to maintain over the years, especially if you don’t get any use out of it.

International Interest in Timeshare and Resales January 16, 2009
Posted by Bryan Connelly in : ARDA, Fairfield Timeshares, General, Hilton Grand Vacation, Hilton Head Island, Marriott Timeshares, News & Events, RCI, Timeshare Rental, Timeshare Resale, Timeshare Resource, Travel, Uncategorized, Westgate Timeshares, Wyndham Timeshares , add a commentDespite 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.
Sell Your Timeshare for More with BuyATimeshare.com January 4, 2009
Posted by Bryan Connelly in : ARDA, Fairfield Timeshares, General, Marriott Timeshares, News & Events, Timeshare Rental, Timeshare Resale, Timeshare Resource, Travel, Uncategorized, Wyndham Timeshares , add a commentWebsites like 10 Timeshare Secrets can help steer you toward a reputable timeshare marketer to get your timeshare sold.
There companies that spend the money on advertising and the technology necessary to drive timeshare buyers toward your properties. You do not list however, with someone who “already has a buyer.†That should be a red flag anyway (you cannot sell what you do not have). Whether it is a newspaper ad or a spot on Google, everyone will charge upfront. Anyone else will take a cut of the sale and sell it for a small percentage of what you paid, but it will probably get sold. Provided you work with the right company, a listing will reach the type of people you are looking for—buyers.
There are plenty of reasons to follow the piles of bad press on timeshare resale companies and maybe even timeshares altogether. Who can blame you? Timeshares are rife with fees and even if you do use it, it is an expense that requires maintenance and does not appreciate in value. Few owners completely understand the liabilities and benefits of their vacation property, often coerced into ownership by a finely tunes sales professional.
BuyATimeshare.com has the highest rate of success for selling timeshares in the industry. For years people have been finding the right timeshare packages to suit all of their travel needs.
If an owner’s life is not conducive to travel anymore, or if they cannot afford the expense, they typically look to rid themselves of the burden. And unless you are a trained sales agent with the ability to market your own timeshare properties, finding the right means of advertising is your best bet for selling a timeshare for anything close to the inflated price you may have paid from the timeshare developer.
As consumers and businesses are slashing leisure and travel costs, few are going to even consider primary sales, with the resale market gaining speed like it is. After troubles in the stock exchange pummeling big-name developers, stock value has dwindled down to half what they were in 2007. Halting developments and lopping off sales departments, companies like Wyndham have staggered, with shares down 70 percent, Marriott down 46%, and Starwood shares down 62 percent—just to put things in perspective.

Posted by Bryan Connelly in : ARDA, Customer Comments, General, Marriott Timeshares, News & Events, Timeshare Rental, Timeshare Resale, Timeshare Resource, Travel, Uncategorized, Wyndham Timeshares , add a commentLike 2008, the upcoming year does not sound too amiable for the timeshare industry.

The Grand Waikikian Resort by Hilton December 22, 2008
Posted by Bryan Connelly in : ARDA, General, Hilton Grand Vacation, Marriott Timeshares, New Features, News & Events, Timeshare Rental, Timeshare Resale, Timeshare Resource, Travel, Wyndham Timeshares , add a commentHilton’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.â€
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.
The Timeshare Credit Crunch Saga: Part III December 16, 2008
Posted by Bryan Connelly in : ARDA, General, New Features, News & Events, Timeshare Rental, Timeshare Resale, Timeshare Resource, Travel, Uncategorized, Wyndham Timeshares , add a commentThe credit crunch and economic dive seems to be wedging themselves into all facets of business. Gas prices are down for the holiday season, but airfare prices are still punctuated by fuel surcharges initiated back when prices were three fold today’s. BuyATimeshare.com continues to see record sales of timeshare on the resale market. In times of distress consumers seek the best deal possible.
With no financing in sight means there is no way for the developer to convince you to buy a grossly overpriced vacation property. Wyndham had quoted that timeshare sales met expectations in October and November, despite weakness in Hawaii and Las Vegas (related to a decrease in airline capacity). Even though I cannot recall if they mentioned what those expectations were, they are projecting $1.2 billion in year 2009, rather than the $2 billion in timeshare sales in 2008.
The increases in fees without an increase of service, and with more and more resorts popping up worldwide, the diversity and options are growing every year. Wyndham’s projections can in part be blamed on the resale market; where timeshare novice and avid enthusiast can come together and save thousands of dollars on a luxurious vacation property.
With great press citing the resale market as a booming trend in timeshare, the savings are back! Big-brand developers have lost there financing and BuyATimeshare.com has ushered in the most empowering method a consumer can use when planning travel. Choose where, when, and how much you pay!
With Tammac Financial continuing to provide financing for buyers, we are seeing an increase in confirmed offers and timeshare sales. The amount of holidaymakers looking to rent or buy affordable vacation properties have not wavered at BuyATimeshare.com—especially rentals. This year people are slimming-down their leisure expenses but still vacation in luxury. Thanks to BuyATimeshare.com, it is possible to save money and still enjoy great vacationing.
