World Cup Accommodations is Possible Relief for Timeshare Owners

A number of timeshare owners are seeking for timeshare relief with all the financial burdens that their timeshares are giving them. However, they are having difficulties doing so through resale and having it rented out. But sometimes, there are events that timeshare owners can leverage on to help them get rid of their packages.

Timeshare owners are being charged with maintenance fees and special assessments by their timeshare companies. The charges are regardless if they were able to use their packages. And so, some owners find it a waste to keep on paying for timeshares that they are not utilizing. These charges do not decrease in time. It only continues to increase. And so owners are considering to get out of their timeshare contracts.

The most common ways they try to get rid of their timeshares is through selling or renting out the units. However, doing so has become difficult because of the competition in the hotel and timeshare industry.

But certain events like the World Cup can be leveraged to be able to resale a timeshare. The units can also be rented out because of the sudden increase of demand for accommodations in the location of the event. South Africa will be receiving tourists and so timeshares can be marketed for their use.

Timeshare owners should prime up their marketing strategies to be able to get rid of their timeshares in locations of big events like the World Cup. Reselling timeshares or renting them out is very possible with the increase of demands.

Sharing of Maintenance Fees is Relief Solely for the Timeshare Company

Timeshare owners who are seeking for timeshare relief may not be aware but their decision to get rid of their packages affects not only the timeshare companies but also the rest of the timeshare owners. Not much is known about this matter but it is a good thing to be heard by timeshare owners.

Timeshare owners who are trying to be free from their timeshare contracts are doing so because of the responsibilities associated with their timeshares. Aside from the acquisition fee that owners pay for their timeshares, they are also regularly billed for the maintenance of the units as well as other special assessments that timeshare companies deem necessary for them to pay. And these charges continue to increase.

This financial burden makes these owners decide to get rid of their timeshares. However, this move will not only endanger the timeshare company but also the rest of the owners who will continue on keeping their timeshares. The maintenance fees that they will be leaving behind will now have to be handled by those keeping their packages.

The owners association will have to divide the amount to all owners to be able to continue on with the upkeep of the units. If the necessary payments will not be collected, the daily operations of the timeshare resort will be affected. If the operation of the resort will not be maintained and more owners will be dissatisfied with the service of the resort, they might end up getting rid of their timeshares themselves and the cycle will continue.

This is not to discourage you from getting rid of the package it’s just that other owners should know about this as well.

Timeshare Brings Vacation Goers to Croatia for Relief

A research group working for Travel Weekly found out that UK and Europe are the vacation locations mostly favored for the year 2010. Timeshare owners seeking for timeshare relief may perhaps draw on to that information to get rid of their timeshares. However, the responses from various vacation goers are not yet precise and may still vary.

More people are likely to travel Croatia among other countries in Europe and UK as it offers variety of views and activities. And since the country is composed of 1,000 islands, vacation goers have a great chance hoping to more than one island during their travel. They will surely enjoy the trip because each island has their own offering of unique vacation landscape to brag of.

Croatia can be one of the best timeshare locations for vacation this 2010. If you are a timeshare owner with property located in the country, you have all the reason to fully enjoy the benefits of your stay. You have all the time to explore different islands if you prefer not to stay to only one place, depending on your capability to spend all throughout your vacation.

As a vacation package owner, you have the freedom to rent out your timeshare to those who are looking for vacation rentals if ever you are not available for that package this year. You will be able to earn money and may use it to pay for a portion of the year’s bill. The amount may not be sufficient but at least you can get something from that unused package without totally getting rid of the timeshare.

What Approach Suits You Best to Obtain Timeshare Relief?

A year may have its own ending but obtaining timeshare relief still never finds its way to the end. Timeshare owners have different reasons why they want to get rid of their timeshares and they also have different options to obtain relief from their timeshares.

Various approaches were tried by timeshare owners who want to be free of the contract that timeshare brought them. However, whatever scheme they might have applied, the result remains almost the same – they are still bound to it.

This might be possible that the strategy they have chosen in finding timeshare relief is not the one that suits best to their necessity.

Try to evaluate which among these means can probably get your way off your already unwanted timeshare.

1. Sell your timeshare – though it is a very common strategy it is also the hardest action to carry out. This involves a lot of competition, not only with other vacation options but also with other timeshare owners. Not only vacation goers do the reselling of their vacation packages, but as well as timeshare companies themselves. However, trying this plan could also work out.

2. Rent your timeshare - if you want to earn from your timeshare and plan to use it in the future, you can always count on this approach. It may involve much competition but you can get the assurance that you’ll benefit from it without totally losing ownership of the property.

3. Donating a timeshare – there are some charitable organizations that will appreciate the act and may receive the offer. But some may also refuse it, though you have the intention to help, still it doesn’t work most of the time.

4. Giving the vacation package as a gift – your friends or relatives will absolutely appreciate it. Those who are willing and are capable of maintaining a timeshare will love to receive it as a gift.

5. Hiring a timeshare title transfer company – acquiring assistance from a reliable company can really be a great help to obtain timeshare relief. They have the service that can address your burden and can immediately free you from your timeshare contract.

Disney Requires Relief from its Timeshare Difficulties


Timeshare companies continue to suffer from the ill effects of the financial crisis. Most companies have clients seeking for timeshare relief. Other companies ended up having to close down because of financial breakdown. But other companies were able to open up timeshare units like the Disney Vacation Club.

The Disney Vacation Club opened up its first West Coast timeshares in September at the Grand Californian Hotel. However, the financial report of the Vacation Club was still slumped down by the financial crisis.

The Citigroup’s decision to stop buying mortgages since December last year closed down the mortgages of the Vacation Club to only $17 million up to October 3. It is 88 percent down from last year’s $174 million mortgages. The securitization affords the Vacation Club a boost in their profit and without is, much is lessened to Disney’s timeshare division. It also affects the overall profit of the whole Walt Disney company because 20 percent of its profit comes from its timeshare division.

This decrease in their profit may be a bad news for the entire group but because of Disney’s financial strength, it can neglect this negative effect. However, for timeshare owners who are having difficulties with their timeshares cannot just set aside the financial burden they have because of their timeshares. Getting rid of the timeshares is the best option that they can find to have more financial freedom. They are not able to enjoy their timeshares because of the amount of money their timeshares require of them.

Relief to Timeshare Employees Can also be Provided

The difficult economic situation and other unfortunate circumstance, including the fact that some timeshare owners are seeking for timeshare relief, is not an excuse to disregard the employees. Such is the message that Trading Places International, a timeshare management service provider, is conveying with its actuations to its employees.

Trading Places opted not to remove any of its employees even during the financial crisis. They even made sure to continue making their people happy. They instead decided to continue on being frugal with the rest of their operational expenses to make sure that they can continue ot provide for their people.

Trading Places made sure that its people receive everything they used to receive before the onset of the financial crunch. They made it a point that the employees get to appreciate the fact that they have their jobs when other people lost theirs. The satisfactions they feel are translated to quality services to their clients as well as retention of quality staff.

It is such good news to know that such type of company exists in the industry of timeshare. It can somehow be a good reason to pay for the heavy maintenance fees and associated charges. It may be small enough as an exchange for our expenses but at least some people get to benefit from it. Hopefully, even if other timeshare owners continue to seek for ways to get rid of their timeshares, Trading Places will continue to treat its people well. And hopefully, they can also continue to grow and benefit other people with their business.

Relief to Owners Come with the Increase in Demand for Pre-Sold Timeshares

Pre – sold timeshares are experiencing an increase in demand these days. If such is true, then timeshare owners seeking for timeshare relief are off to a good start next year, hopefully without their timeshares in hand anymore. But if this said trend will cease to continue, then timeshare owners seeking for ways to get out of their timeshare contracts might need to keep a close look at their financial obligations to make sure they won’t be missing any.

The Century Timeshare Group, among the famous timeshare resellers, are now priming up their marketing strategies to be able to cater to the current demand of the timeshare reselling industry. The company reported a steady increase in demand for timeshare from private investors. Different investors are calling in daily to inquire of timeshare packages.

The company then opted to put up a showroom. The said showroom is worth multi – million of dollars and will serve as a venue of the planned monthly auctions for timeshares for resale. With this development, timeshares for resale are having an increase in the possibility of being sold out.

It is with hope as well that the private investors calling Century Timeshare Group are all ready for the financial responsibilities associated with timeshares. Hopefully, they will be able to keep up with the fees that timeshares demand from their clients lest they also end up getting rid of their timeshares because they already find it a burden to maintain the vacation option.
