    Charles Patton posted an update 3 weeks, 6 days ago

    New business models are arising in the industry of vacation ownership. The Asset Lite model that rose to dominance during the Great Recession will continue to be valid for the next few years while inventory surpluses from distressed properties are absorbed. However, a Right-to-Use short-term ownership model based on guaranteed wholesale (and fully…[Read more]

    Charles Patton posted on the forum topic Are Short Term Products the Future for Vacation Ownership? in the group Group logo of Timeshare ForumTimeshare Forum: 11 months, 2 weeks ago

    I agree that this is the wave of the future. Some points to consider however. Much of the timeshare industry is protected because the product falls under the category of Real Estate. There are many laws that exempt real estate from their effects — including securities and tax laws. (Note; This is not a legal [...]

    Charles Patton posted on the forum topic What's the biggest change on the immediate horizon? in the group Group logo of Timeshare ForumTimeshare Forum: 1 year, 1 month ago

    There is a way to do this now with a new product design provided a minor regulatory issue could be resolved. The issue is with securities regulations. If those could distinctly exclude timeshare, which currently they don’t, the entire issue of resales could be eliminated.

    You know how much
    more difficult it is today to market your products and services. Traditional
