This document discusses the advantages and disadvantages of timeshare properties. Some key advantages include providing members immunity from rising costs through fixed annual fees, the emotional connection of spending quality family time each year, and a large range of exchange options. However, some disadvantages are the large upfront payment required that deters customers, the potential for negative publicity from poor operators, and maintenance costs being high for timeshare properties. In conclusion, while timeshares provide benefits like guaranteed accommodations, the costs can be considerable over time.

The large amount taken as an upfront payment is a major deterrent to potential customers.

the mind of the buyer.
Sometimes timeshare companies do not provide quality service which creates negative word of mouth
publicity for the industry.
Timeshare industry has a very high marketing cost which reduces the profit margin of the promoter.
Maintenance cost is high for Timeshare properties.
Timeshare membership is considered expensive by a buyer when he starts calculating the interest component
and other associated costs of his investment.
