Many travelers mistakenly assume that a timeshare will lock them into one place for the life of their contract. In fact, the opposite is true. Timeshares are extremely flexible and some 70% of timeshare owners have used their vacation property to travel to locale outside of their home resort. It might sound confusing, but the concept and processes are really quite simple. Because a timeshare purchase is essentially the purchase of time, it's easy to trade your usage for time elsewhere. When using timeshares to travel the world, you've got a couple of options.
If you're looking to secure a certain level of quality wherever you travel, you might want to buy timeshare with a well-known vacation club like Marriott or Hilton Grand Vacations. Like their hotelier counterparts, these clubs have resorts all over the world. Ownership at one of the resorts will allow owners to travel to any of the resorts within the network.
However, there are a couple of things to consider with this type of usage plan. First, these clubs do tend to be a bit more expensive than other timeshare properties as you're paying for a guarantee of the level of quality that the name stands for. Secondly, there are some restrictions that may put a damper on your travel plans. For example, Marriott won't allow owners who've purchased their timeshare resale to participate in their points program, meaning that you'd need to use a third-party exchange company to trade time at a Marriott resort.
These third-party companies, like Interval International and RCI are probably the most common way for owners to trade their vacation time. They create affiliations with resorts all over the world then offer membership to owners of these resorts. Membership with an exchange company makes it possible to exchange your week at your home resort for a week at a resort of similar quality anywhere within the network.
There are benefits and drawbacks to both, yet their goal is essentially the same: to allow owners to use their timeshare to travel the world. With an affiliated property you and your family can snorkel off the coast of Nassau one year, and explore the ancient ruins of Greece the next.
There are timeshares for sale all over the world, and one great place to begin your search is the online timeshare resale market. Up to 95% of timeshare resales occur online, which means that you'll have the greatest range of resorts to choose from when you shop on the internet. And when you buy a resale timeshare you'll often save thousands off the resort pricing.
