. Many benefits from vacation ownership
Vacation ownership is a period of time (days or weeks per year) that you can buy for a specific property (usually a residence at a resort) or multi-destination club, during which the right-to-use the property belongs to you. The idea is that you benefit by "pre-paying" for a vacation place rather than renting it, as you might otherwise do. The profit that would have gone to the rental stays in your pocket. Under a vacation ownership plan you agree to a one-time purchase price and an annual maintenance fee, Vacation ownership purchasers own their accommodation time and purchase the right-to-use it for a specified number of years.
In a right-to-use vacation ownership you are essentially taking a lease on a property, usually for one to two weeks a year, for a specific period of time (generally 15 years to 50 years, or for the lifetime of the owner). You can think of this kind of vacation ownership as similar to booking a cottage rental in advance, except that in most cases you can rent, give away, or sell your time to someone else whenever you like.
“My family has a vacation ownership card. In June every year, we gather at any resort in America, England, China and Isarel to spend vacation. This is our precious pleasure time”, said Brian Martin, director of a tourist business.
