Popular timeshare destinations in the US

Any guesses for which one tops the chart? You got it- Florida! Florida is the most visited vacation destination in the US, primarily for Orlando and the beautiful beaches. Florida offers something for everyone- the magical world of Disney, Magic kingdom, Epcot center, Universal studios, shopping, nightlife, beaches, entertainment.. you ask for it, and Florida has it.




California has been gaining popularity in the recent years. California offers a lot to visitors in terms of natural beauty- the mountains, the beaches, the vineyards, are all within a few hours drive. The magical world of Disney and ofcourse the glamour world of Hollywood are top California attractions. The temperate weather is definitely a plus.



Las Vegas attracts thousands of visitors each year because of its world class entertainment- whether you are a gambler or not! The recent real estate bust affected home prices and other real estate prices in and around Las Vegas. As a result, hotel prices have dropped a lot. At a nice hotel like Monte Carlo, you can get hotel rooms starting $50 for this month.



Hawaii is a beautiful vacation spot- it really is. And like me, a lot of people fall in love with this destination, and probably want to keep going back. Hawaii, with all its natural beauty, is a tropical paradise. So, no wonder, timeshare developers make an increasing effort to lure tourists into buying their property.

There are other US destinations that are getting popular, like Hilton Head in South Carolina, Colorado, and Texas.

I’ve always wondered why people buy timeshares when they can just rent a hotel room, or a vacation rental, for sometimes a fraction of the cost. Well, I think when people fall in love with a destination, they want to return to it every year. They are also looking for least worry, and not having to go through the hassle of looking for a hotel room, and making reservations. I guess they enjoy stability, knowing their unit or property will be waiting for them every year.

Just thought I'd share some interesting information I found on the TUG website. This map has RCI properties only, I believe, and the map was created in 2006, although the google map is current. Florida is a region by itself!
