The history of timeshare, Fractional Ownership and the reasons it is a brilliant concept

These concepts: timeshare, Fractional Ownership are taking over the market for luxury travel and are transforming the way we perceive the vacation home

Timeshare was first introduced to the world in the early 1960’s. It developed simultaneously in different countries around the world. It was modeled after families who purchased a vacation home together and shared the right to usage according to a pre-determined timetable.

Thus began the development of the timeshare model and the famous saying describing it: “No need to rent the room; buy the hotel, it is cheaper!”. The growth of this business concept has been stellar.

Travelers around the world can purchase vacation time in a budget-friendly way in some of the most elite resorts located in exotic locations. Today, it is a multi-billion dollar industry with over 5,000,000 timeshare owners worldwide, with a satisfaction rate of 85.6%.

Fractional Ownership was introduced a couple of times through the decades, but it took momentum in the 1990s when the systems for scheduling improved. The custom-tailored plans replaced the old rigid plans for usage of the property.

The Karma Group is one of the A-rated companies with exclusive, lavish resorts in different tropical destinations, which offers you the opportunity to become a fractional owner on your own terms. Every Karma resort around the world is different, embodying the soul of the place where it is built.

Timeshare, Fractional Ownership experience from our guests for their time in the Karma Royal Phuket in Thailand:

“A family of 3 adults and two kids aged 3 and 15 we spent two weeks at the Karma Royal Phuket was via our timeshare. The villa was clean spacious pretty much as described in the photos the main bedroom had a queen size bed and a view of the canal and neighboring villas. We used the resorts minibus for pretty much all of our trips. Within the complex, there are several restaurants, all good. The peaceful, serene surroundings were well suited to a family holiday. We took many walks around the complex.” Kazjitsu from London on TripAdvisor

Use the opportunity for fractional timeshare resales.

Here is some of the information that you’ll need to know about when it comes to fractional timeshare resales. When you acquire the timeshare or the Fractional Ownership from the resort, that is the primary market.

When you sell it or acquire it directly from the fractional owner, that is the secondary market or the resale. This is usually used for swapping timeshares with owners to explore different locations, or if you cannot use it for any given reason, you can put it on the market and vice versa.

The Karma Group is famous for a high percentage of satisfied guests. For example, this is one of the testimonials of a timeshare in Vietnam in the Karma Cây Tre Resort:

“All the staff were friendly, helpful and greeted us with a warm smile. It felt more like we were staying with friends rather than a resort. We had apartment 101 which was the closest to the pool and restaurant. They provide room towels, shower gel, etc. and hairdryer. There’s a small fridge/mini bar which is reasonably priced. Kettle and Complimentary bottled water, tea and coffee. There are also daily pool towels. We would not hesitate to stay here again.” Bridgewood from Gillingham on RCI

Reselling your timeshare can earn you or save you money, depending on how you use it, but the important thing is that you have the opportunity to put it on the market. This is a concept that has reinvented luxury travel around the world.
