Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a complete overview of timeshare development and operation models. The authors take a comprehensive look at the present and future of this growing segment of the hospitality industry, including specialized approaches to marketing, human resources, service quality, finance, legal considerations and professional ethics. Timeshare, or vacation ownership, is a relatively recent leisure phenomenon. It emerged in the late 1950s as a way to secure extra capital resources to fund property expansion. Shareholders had the right to use these properties on a regular basis. Although arrangements have grown in complexity and variation, the model allows for customers to buy rights to use a property for a fixed time period each year. Timeshare arrangements have experienced rapid international growth particularly in the last fifteen to twenty years and are now an important vacation arrangement. Most of the world's major hotel and resort developers now operate timeshare properties. Firms like Marriott, Hilton, Hyatt, Disney and Ramada have brought a new formality and legitimacy to timeshare development and operation.

Very Professional,” Perry Snyderman. “Timesharing is a complex business model and for someone that has little or no experience and wants to better understand the fundamentals, this book works well to fi ll many of the information gaps,” Bob Miller According to the American Resort Development Association (ARDA), the timeshare industry is a $10 billion per year business in the U.S. alone and supports 565,300 jobs. By my estimation, more than 50,000 of these jobs are people working directly in the industry. Until now, no book has been written for this group of people that explains the functioning of the timeshare business. This book is written for those who want to fully understand the timeshare business from the inside out or who are in the business and want to be promoted to management positions or are already managers and want to become better. This book begins with how strategies are developed by senior management, continues with many important operating practices and metrics and ends with a series of bonus secrets to help a timeshare company reach its optimum performance. This book explains many of the common terms used in the industry as well as providing high level models to help timeshare management put all the components of this complex business into proper perspective.
