Timeshare Down Under Rising to the Top

Another reminder that timeshare sales and timeshare resales really are a global product comes with recent news that Australia timeshare, also called holiday ownership, is holding steady with strong occupancy rates. According to RCI, (Resort Condominiums International timeshare exchange) approximately 164,000 inbound international passengers conducted availability searches for Australia timeshare exchanges last year.

As Geoff Ballotti, president and CEO of Group RCI explains in a recent HotelsMag.com interview, “While tourism overall has seen a decline in these recent economic times, timeshare occupancy rates remain strong, with almost 95 percent occupancy at Gold Coast (Australia) timeshare resorts. This is compared to domestic hotel room occupancy levels around 74 percent. These figures demonstrate the value consumers find in owning timeshare and being part of a global timeshare exchange company like RCI, which gives them access to more than 4,500 affiliated resorts in top holiday destinations around the world.”

Strong Australia Timeshare Industry

This week marks the Australian Timeshare and Holiday Ownership Council (ATHOC) conference, with Geoff Ballotti delivering the keynote address. ATHOC general manager Laura Younger explains that despite the challenging global economy, Australia is experiencing a resurgence of holiday ownership. Timeshares are the second fastest growing tourism industry in the country, surpassed in Australia only by the rapidly growing cruise industry. Among favorite Australia timeshare destinations, the Gold Coast is a major regional hotspot. Younger says, “The economic significance of Gold Coast timeshare is a direct and indirect output of $318.3 million a year for the local economy.”

$318.3 million pumped back into an economy. These days, that is music to everyone’s ears even it is played on a didgeridoo.
