The timeshare industry has 1,580 resorts in the U.S. and 5,300 resorts worldwide with high brand standards for their guests to enjoy their vacation experience.

"Our members continue to evolve their product and strive to provide owners and guests unique and experiential vacations at a great value," says President and CEO of the American Resort Development Association, Jason Gamel.

Gamel believes the higher occupancy rate in timeshares over hotels is due to the evolving wants and needs of today's vacationers, who wants more than just resort amenities, but special experiences both at the property and around the local community.

"The combination of our on-site staff that are rooted in the community and our single focus on hospitality, enables us to provide guests with the knowledge to experience the local culture and unique activities, whether that be through an immersive cooking class on property or a first-hand recommendation of the area's best kept secrets," says Gamel.
