I recently found the following statistics on timeshare.
Total Impact
Combined direct, indirect, and fiscal impacts in 2005 by the U.S. timeshare industry contributed an estimated $92 billion to the U.S. economy in 2005. This included $62 billion in consumer and business spending; 565,300 full- and part-time jobs; over $21 billion in salaries, wages, and related income; and approximately $8.5 billion in tax revenue.
U.S. Timeshare Vacationers' Characteristics
There are over 1,600 timeshare resorts in the U.S., attracting over 4.1 million households to timeshare ownership.
Number of timeshare trips: 5.7 million
Number of people per party: 3.8
Number of nights in resort area: 8.1
Estimated total spending: $10 billionU.S. Timeshare Vacationers' Characteristics
Of the $10 billion spent by timeshare vacationers, well over 90% occurred outside of the resort among local area businesses. Visitor spending during timeshare vacations supported approximately 99,700 jobs and $3.0 billion in salaries, wages, and related income at businesses in resort destinations, such as restaurants, retail outlets, and visitor
These statistics are from 2005, I am looking for more recent numbers. Does anyone know where I may be able to find such information?
Any members selling Timeshare now? If so with what kind of results?
Thank you for your interest.
