Fractional Ownership: 1 year, 11 months agoAnother point is that over the past 12 to 24 months there has been a major draw back in the amount of new fractional ownership projects coming on-line, as well as a flow of players out of the industry (due to lack of sales). the combination of these two is that there really hasn’t been [...]

Fractional Ownership: 1 year, 11 months agoPersonally i think that consumers intent and financial constraints will have a major influence on future projects for leisure and hospitality developers. These developers are also looking for ways to sell more mixed use products, and in some cases increase the number of people visiting their resorts in order to stimulate on site trade at [...]

South African fractional ownership community : 2 years agoThe recent post from RDO’s Chairman ‘Fractional Ownership is Timeshare in Disguise’ can only support the desperate need that the global regulatory bodies must collectively work together to clearly define each of the Shared Vacation Ownership products – this way we can all direct our positive energy into marketing our respective sectors rather…[Read more]

Dirk Wilson posted on the forum topic What Is The True Definition Of Fractional Ownership? in the group
Fractional Ownership: 2 years agoIn my view fractional ownership is professionally managed ‘luxury leisure use asset’ with a limited number of co-owners – simple as that!
