Other Timeshare Industry Trends from 2018
With a rise in demand for timeshare units, resorts and the luxurious amenities that come with them, annual dues are also on the rise. Timeshare maintenance fees have increased 2% since 2017 and now average at $1,000 annually. Keep in mind, these fees go towards everything that makes a timeshare resort great. These benefits extend to unique experiences created for guests.
Perhaps coming as a surprise to most, vacation ownership has become more affordable in the last year, which could explain the growing trends. Families are turning their heads at the more attractive timeshare model. More accessibility and lower prices make us committed to vacations every year.
