There has long been debate about traditional holidays versus timeshare holidays. Timeshare holiday homes offer the purchaser to buy a holiday for a given period of time every year for life at todays prices. Alternatively, the holiday timeshare owner can buy a fixed number of days or weeks, but is free to use this time at varying periods each year. Historically holiday timeshares have not given this flexibility and one has had to holiday during the same one or two weeks per year, every year. However in recent times, with the number of holiday timeshare companies competing for business, and the holiday and leisure industry increasing in market size, holiday timeshare companies have had to become more inventive to win custom.
There was time when holiday timeshares had a bad name, once unregulated and open to abuse, companies or indeed bogus companies, would tout for business in many ways, often in holiday resorts such as the Spanish mainland or the Canary Islands. Representatives of these companies who were often paid on commission, would approach holidaymakers when they are in a relaxed mood and promise free drinks, free taxi rides to and from the holiday presentation, only to find that the free drink is not so free when they are expected to stay to listen to a presentation for 3 hours and have to wait to get a taxi back to their hotel. However, this reputation is diminishing and timeshare developments are modern, clean and their companies regulated.
Timeshare Holiday Homes
Timeshare owners can own a period of time, of many different holiday home villas and apartments, with breathtaking views in most of the countries of the World, and where the particular company that they are members of do not have properties, villas or hotel rooms, holiday timeshare owners can swap their timeshares with other timeshare company owners which mean that timeshare owners can holiday virtually anywhere in the World, taking advantage of every type of holiday on offer. Beach holidays in hot climates, in large or small villas, with their own pools overlooking stunning beaches or ski holidays in cold and snowy environments such as Austria or Switzerland are all on offer to the timeshare owner. Alternatively walking and mountain holidays in the UK are on offer, in Forests and national parks, these are also available in Canada, with the timeshare properties on offer being log cabins and the like. Imagine walking out on to your veranda and looking out at the snowy topped mountains of the Rockies.
