TIMESHARE AS A STRATEGY IN TOURISM INVESTMENT: THE CASE OF CROATIA Damon A. Revelas Roger A. Saunders School of Hotel & Restaurant Management Boston, Massachusetts Richard “Rick” M. Lagiewski Rochester Institute of Technology Rochester, New York ABSTRACT The purpose of this paper is to examine how timeshare strategy can assist tourism investment in the lodging sector within a transitional economy. Specifically, the study describes initial timeshare operations in Croatia, an example of a transitional country, steeped in tourism tradition. Moreover, the discussion identifies benefits and challenges to timeshare implementation for hotel companies, when applied to broader tertiary perspectives. By using the case study approach, a record of events that lead to establishing timeshare operations should serve as a collaborative example to other developers, investors, hotel companies and legal entities that may attempt similar projects in other transitional tourism countries. Key words: Timeshare, transitional economy, tourism, hotel investment, and strategy INTRODUCTION The former Yugoslavia was a multi-ethnic state in southeast Europe divided administratively between six republics: Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia, Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia, and Slovenia.

  • Timeshare Companies Explore New Markets, Add Partners
    Timeshare Companies Explore New Markets, Add Partners hotelbusiness.com/timeshare-companies-explore-new-markets-add-partners/ Hotel Business INTERNATIONAL REPORT—What’s new in vacation ownership? A couple of timeshare companies have targeted new locales, while others have signed agreements with new—and returning—partners. Hilton Grand Vacations Will Open its First Timeshare Resort in Japan Hilton Grand Vacations (HGV) has purchased real estate from Hilton, including existing buildings and land for development within the Hilton Odawara Resort & Spa, located in the Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan. The purchase marks Hilton Grand Vacations’ second announced project in Japan and will be the first resort to open in the country. Adding to the existing properties, HGV plans to create timeshare units with ocean views on the purchased land. Hilton Odawara Resort & Spa is located 30 minutes by bullet train from Tokyo. Hilton will continue to own the hotel and resort amenities as well as manage the property, which is close to attractions such as the Fuji Hakone Izu National Park and Odawara Castle. Guests will have access to the many recreational facilities and resort amenities of Hilton Odawara Resort & Spa. “With the Japanese government’s aim to welcome 40 million tourists by 2020, we see great continuing potential in providing more offerings to an ever-expanding and diverse group of travelers,” says Tim Soper, VP of operations for Japan, Korea and Micronesia with Hilton. 1/3 “Part of how we will do so is to offer our guests the best of both worlds by working with key tourism players, including Hilton Grand Vacations.” Japanese design firm Hashimoto Yukio Design Studio has been appointed as designer for the project.

  • Key Timeshare Concepts
    Key Timeshare Concepts What a timeshare is (a.k.a., Vacation Ownership or Fractional Ownership) A timeshare is a program in which a group of people shares use of a property by dividing among themselves the rights to use the property for specific time periods. Although the property is usually a residential project such as a condominium, developers have applied the timesharing concept to other types of properties, such as houseboats, campgrounds, and recreational vehicle parks. Virtually all timeshares are resort or vacation properties. To set up the timeshare, the developer “divides” occupancy of each of the units into time-based intervals. The developer then sells these intervals to buyers, so each owner of an interval receives the right to use a specific unit for a specific time period corresponding to the interval they purchased. Each timeshare owner thus “shares” the usage of the property along with all of the other owners. Through this shared usage, the owners have guaranteed accommodations in the property, without carrying the financial and property management burdens associated with a conventional ownership of such a property. Timeshare intervals are normally one week long; a few timeshare projects, however, use other ownership fractions, such as one-tenth or one-quarter ownerships. Since almost all timeshare projects are based on one-week intervals, the words “week” or “timeshare week” are generally used in the timesharing community to mean a one-week timeshare interval. In keeping with this convention, through the rest of this course I usually refer to timeshare intervals as “timeshare weeks” or “weeks”. In addition to the purchase price, timeshare owners also pay an annual fee for property upkeep and management.
