So far, the timeshare industry has weathered the economic problems in the US without significant impact. Most of the leading timeshare resort developers are still publishing solid quarterly reports, and in many cases, timeshare sales are propping up declining hotel revenues.

But when people stop gambling, we have to feel concern for all sectors of the economy. Typically, gambling weathers almost any economic crisis. For the first two months of 2008, gambling revenues in Vegas were down by 4 percent from last year.

Ups and Downs in Las Vegas Timeshare and Hotel Construction

Hotels Magazine tells us, “…Las Vegas has a huge inventory of new casinos and hotels due for completion in the next few years, and a long slump could send the city reeling.”

The bright side:

• Caesars Palace is planning a billion dollar makeover, with a 23-story tower and three new swimming pools.
• MGM Mirage’s $8 billion CityCenter project is still moving forward, encompassing 76 acres on the Vegas strip.
• Westgate Resorts timeshare‘s fifty story timeshare resort, the Planet Hollywood Towers, is moving forward to become the only timeshare resort directly connected to a major hotel and casino on the strip.

The bad news:

• Foreclosure has started on a $760 million construction loan for the Cosmopolitan Resort & Casino.
• Plans to build the Crown Las Vegas, a bullet-shaped hotel and casino resort that was supposed to become the tallest building in the city, have been scrapped due to lack of financing.
• For January and February, hotel occupancy was down by 1.5 percent, despite the fact that daily room rates were nearly 4 percent lower than for the same period in 2007.

Serving Your Timeshare Needs

Who can even guess any longer, how the US economy will sort itself out? For people who are in the business of buying real estate, selling oil, or repossessing automobiles, then these are good times. And for the rest of us, who need gasoline to get to work, groceries for our families, and mortgages we can afford, well, things are feeling a little scary.

Wherever you are in this economic rollercoaster, Sell My Timeshare NOW is an affordable, safe, and reliable way to deal with your timeshare needs, whether that is buying timeshare, selling timeshare, or renting timeshare.

…continued from yesterday’s blog post, “Wyndham Worldwide Resorts and Wyndham Timeshare Releases 2007 Financials”

Despite all the good news in Wyndham’s financial report released this week, here’s the part of it I really don’t like to see. I will quote it exactly as it appears from the Wyndham report:

“Gross Vacation Ownership Interest sales (which exclude the effect of deferred revenues) were $488 million for the fourth quarter of 2007, up 4 percent compared to the fourth quarter of 2006, driven by marketing efforts resulting in increases in tour flow and volume per guest based on strong performance by our sales force and continued strength in transaction pricing.”

Let’s face it, part of the reason Wyndham timeshare, purchased as new timeshare weeks or new timeshare condos from the Wyndham company, is making them so much money, has to do with how much they make by loaning you the money to buy timeshare in the first place.

When you buy timeshare as new property, you pay the full developer price, which can be shockingly higher than the cost to buy timeshare as a resale. More importantly, if you buy timeshare and finance it through the developer, you are adding significantly to your purchase price through the interest you will pay over the life of the loan.

Timeshare Resales: You Owe It to Yourself to Learn More

Wyndham timeshare is a fabulous way to vacation and owning timeshare is one of the few ways you have to lock in the current price of vacation accommodations. But before you buy timeshare, you owe it to yourself to visit Sell My Timeshare NOW and look at the many Wyndham timeshare resales that are available to buy or rent at very competitive prices.

Often, people find that when they buy timeshare resales, the savings is so significant that they no longer have to use long-term financing in order to pay for their vacation ownership property. In other words—timeshare resales enable them to benefit from a double-savings, first on the purchase price, and then on all the interest they are saving by not financing their purchase.

Orlando’s Local 6 TV News stirred up an old issue this past November when they interview David Siegel, founder and CEO of Westgate timeshares, regarding the company’s no-smoking policy for employees.

But this is not “news”. Westgate Resorts timeshares put their no-smoking ban in place in 2003. Westgate Resorts timeshares is part of the behemoth corporation, Central Florida Investments Inc, a conglomerate that includes hotels, magazines, travel services, insurance, real estate, internet companies, oil and even cattle, and is the largest single employer in the Orlando area. And Westgate timeshares in not alone in its crackdown on employee smoking. Other Florida companies have made similar moves. Thanks to the 2002 Florida Clean Indoor Act, smoking is already prohibited in restaurants, malls, workplaces and most interior areas. Many Florida employers prohibit smoking anywhere on company property while other companies also charge employees who smoke higher rates for their health insurance premiums. Westgate timeshares simply took its opposition to smoking a step further by saying: if you smoke, you won’t work for Westgate Resort timeshares.

Legal?

In the state of Florida it most certainly is. And from the perspective of companies, always watching their bottom-line, you have to see their side of it. Smokers increase insurance premiums across the board for all employees. As a general rule, they have lower productivity simply because of the time lost to smoke breaks. Where smoking is permitted on property, cleaning and repair costs to carpet, upholstery, and painted surfaces escalate.

On the other hand, does your employer ethically have the right to tell you that you cannot smoke off property and on your own time?

Dicey questions, and you can count on David Siegel to (pardon the pun) fan the flames of controversy with one of his straight to the point comments. As quoted in the Orlando Sentinel, Siegel says, “When I found out it was legal to discriminate against smokers (in 2002), those were my marching orders.”
