The History of Timesharing
Did you know that timesharing started by accident? The first timesharing project was a ski-resort. A Frenchman decided to share his ski chalet with his friends and family, so he split the ownership into pieces, assigning a month each to 12 members. It turned out to be a great success — and lots of fun for the members. Later in the 1970's, some condominium projects in St. Thomas, Fort Lauderdale, and Puerto Rico were converted to vacation ownership. From this, timeshare began. The new wave of vacation ownership resorts today are luxurious, spacious, well-located, and convenient ... and the fastest growing form of travel accommodations.
