Five decades after it first launched in Europe, timeshare, now commonly referred to as “Vacation Ownership,” remains a traveler favorite providing freedom to explore new places and the comfort of a familiar home away from home. However, there’s more to timeshare than just a vacation. Below are our 3 favorite benefits of owning timeshare in today’s world:
1. Perks
Timeshare ownership comes with several exclusive perks, including discounted rates on resorts, cruise lines, and other travel experiences. You might even be eligible for free access to exclusive amenities such as spas, lounges, and restaurants. Many timeshare resorts offer on-site activities such as golf, tennis, hiking, and skiing to name a few. But, in recent years, timeshare companies have started offering their members exclusive experiences including private concerts, sporting events, celebrity meet and greets, and VIP excursions around the globe. Imagine showing up to your resort and learning that a top country music artist is there playing a private concert for owners and members, allowing you an up close and personal experience like no other!
2. Exchange Programs
While having a home resort is wonderful, history has shown us that lives change and over time, owners want to go explore other places and destinations. This is where exchange programs come in. Most timeshare companies offer both internal and external exchange programs that allow you to trade your week or points, both inside their network or outside of it, for another timeshare location. This means you can explore new destinations without having to purchase another timeshare or pay for hotel accommodations. This vacation ownership benefit provides the ultimate flexibility.
3. Community
One of the best parts of timeshare is the sense of community it creates. When you own a timeshare, you become part of a larger community of owners who share your passion for travel. You’ll have the opportunity to attend events and gatherings with other timeshare owners, connect with them on social media, and make new friends along the way. When you own a timeshare, your family also knows that they will have a special place to vacation every year. This creates memories and traditions that can be passed down for generations. Whether your kids are young or grown, they will always cherish the memories of spending vacations together at your timeshare.
