Notas do Editor
If everyone is movingforward together, then success takes care of itself.Henry Ford
Most of the data I am sharing with you today is from the 2012 World Wide Shared Vacation Ownership Report produced by Oxford Economics and The Research Intelligence Group for the ARDA International Foundation. Please note that information included in this report is based on calendar year 2010.
Where in the world is timeshare?Today we are going to answer this question by sharing information about the state of the world wide shared ownership industry.
There are over 5,300 resorts located in 108 countries around the world. North America accounts for nearly one half of all timeshare resorts. Europe is second – with 25% of the resorts.71% of all resorts are purpose built for timeshare.More than half of resorts, 56% are located within a mixed use property.Exclusive of the U.S., there were 64 properties under development at the end of 2010.
The average size of a timeshare resort is 94 units. There are nearly one half million units located at timeshare resorts around the world. Over one-half of the units are located in North America – with over one-third of units located in the US. The two-bedroom unit is the most popular unit type – representing 41% of all units.NOTE: North America is defined as Canada, Caribbean, Mexico and the United States of America.
The health of our industry is traditionally measured by annual sales volume. North America accounted for nearly two-thirds of all sales volume in 2010 with the US representing nearly 50% of all sales volume. In 2010, total worldwide sales volume was over $14 billion.
Another way to measure the health of the industry is through the number of timeshare intervals, or their equivalents sold in a year. In 2010 784,505 intervals were sold. Of these 473,994 or 60% of intervals sold were sold in North America.
Maintenance fees are needed to pay for the cost of operating a resort. The highest average fees are paid within the US - $731, followed closely by the rest of North America at $677. Lowest maintenance fees per interval are charged in the Middle East, where the average is $255.
Occupancy is another measure of the health of our industry. The pre-paid nature of the product dictates that the owner will use the product. Average occupancies for the industry ranged from a low of 55% in the Middle East to a high of 84% in Australasia. The world wide average occupancy in 2010 was 76%.
Rental is an important source of revenue for timeshare resorts. In 2010, over 14.7 million room nights were rented at a timeshare resort. At an average of $148 per night, rental generated nearly $2.2 billion in revenue for timeshare resorts.
As part of the worldwide study, we conducted a study of timeshare owners in the 24 countries that currently have the most owners and/or have the potential of having the largest number of owners in the future. The countries were assigned to one of four regions for reporting purposes.
In each of these 24 countries we measured the percent of households that own some type of shared vacation ownership. There are 20 million owner households among the 1.1 billion total households in these 24 countries. The incidence of ownership in these twenty four countries is 1.8%. Again North America leads the way with a 6.4% incidence . Europe and South American follow at 2.5% and 2.0% respectively.
Earlier in the presentation we discussed the product types offered at point of sale – now we look at the products owners reported owning.Weeks products are the most popular around the world, accounting for the majority of product owned in all regions. Approximately one out of every three owners has invested in points products. Fractional and PRC products are owned by approximately one out of every 7 owners.NOTE: Owners could report owning multiple product types.
Earlier we discussed occupancy levels reported by timeshare resorts. This chart demonstrates the propensity of timeshare owners to vacation compared to non-timeshare owners.In 2010 81% of timeshare owners reported taking a vacation in the past 12 months – compared to 43% of individuals not owning timeshare.
The world wide industry is faced with a number of challenges and opportunities – many vary depending on region of world, however as I have traveled the globe three topics are raised frequently:Secondary or resale marketAging timeshare resorts that were sold out years ago and are under the direction of the ownersEmerging products and structures
For the next few minutes I want to give you information about the current state of the US timeshare industry. This information is from the annual State of the Industry Report prepared for the ARDA International Foundation by Ernst & Young. This data is from year-end 2012.Let’s take a look at some key industry statistics:1,551 resorts located in 48 States (Kansas, North Dakota no timeshare). Average resort size is 122 units.Resorts represent 189,222 units – of which 63% are two bedroom units.In 2012 there were 366,155 intervals or interval equivalents sold for an average price of $18,723 – resulting in sales volume of $6.9 billion.Occupancy rate of all inventory was 77% (61% for US hotels)Maintenance fee – annual fee owners pay to operate, manage and maintain resort is $822.Rental is an important revenue stream for resorts. In 2012 9.6 million nights were rented at an average rate of $163, resulting in $1.6 billion in rental revenue.Nearly 215,300 individuals are employed in the US timeshare industry. Salaries, benefits and wages totaled $9.9 billion.
The AIF conducts financial pulse reports on a quarterly basis. Results from all quarters of 2013 reflect a very good year for the US timeshare industry. As is typical, quarterly timeshare sales increased each quarter throughout 2013. Net originated sales for the year totaled $5.334 billion. Add another $563 million through fee-for-service sales and net total sales for 2013 were $5.9 billion. As we look at other key statistics:Fee for service sales increased by $241 million or 74.8% when comparing 2013 to 2012Loan currency was down slightly, 3.2% although 9 out of 10 owners are current on their monthly loan payments.Occupancy is up 1.6% for an annual average of 80.15%. This is the first increase in annual occupancy in three years.
Industry leaders from all segments of the industry and ARDA Senior Staff worked together to develop a three-year Strategic Plan. Nine strategies were identified – four representing the typical work of the association and five addressing challenges and opportunities determined by the working group.Work of AssociationExecute a Long-Term Membership Strategy Provide High-Value Networking, Education, Business Development Opportunities Expand our Focus on International Growth Markets Support Industry Developers with Tools to Educate Lenders and Wall StreetAreas of challenge and opportunity:Evolve the Regulatory Environment on behalf of the Industry and OwnersSupport a Viable Secondary MarketStrengthen and Enforce a Clear, Current Ethics PolicyEnhance the Timeshare Industry’s Public Image Explore Ways to Support Legacy HOA-Operated Resort Viability
In the US ARDA is the trade association representing the US timeshare industry. Our primary focus to advocated on behalf of the US industry. The ARDA Resort Owners’ Coalition (ARDA-ROC is the first line of defense against legislation that may negatively impact timeshare owners. Through ARDA-ROC, owners are a part of an effective grassroots lobbying coalition of timeshare unit owners dedicated to preserving, protecting, and enhancing vacation ownership.1.5 million timeshare owners voluntarily contribute between $3 and $10 annually to promote a legislative agenda beneficial to owners at the local, state and federal levels. ARDA-ROC is dedicating to protecting and enhancing vacation ownership for timeshare owners.Government regulations protect consumer contributions and insure funds are used solely for owner issues.
ARDA-ROC’s main focus is to attempt to eliminate the “tax the visitor not the voter” mentality that exists in many US communities where timeshare is popular. In US, timeshare product is almost always backed by real-estate, these owners pay real-estate taxes. Yet local and state governments constantly try to burden timeshare owners – these absentee residents – with occupancy, ad volurum and other unfair taxes.
These international timeshare organizations must work together to protect not only timeshare developers – but the timeshare owners as well.
