Financial Trends and Indicators of Timeshare Resorts
As history repeats itself, since hindsight is 20/20, and because, unfortunately, there is no crystal ball to tell us the events of the future, it is important to look toward historical financial information to assist in preparing for a resort's financial future.  Since the Great Recession, the concept of "business as usual" has evaporated and each year brings new challenges and sets of facts that will shape the future.  Planning for a resorts financial future - budgeting, forecasting, and financial planning - must take all of these in to account: the results of the past and the current changes that will reshape the future.
