“…Researchers have quoted innumerous sources during their quest for the correct timeshare definition, such as Florida Civil Code (Ragas, 1986); the Oxford Dictionary (Sharma and Chowdhary, 2012); the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (Savage, 2008), the Timeshare consumer's association (Sharma and Chowdhary, 2012), the Organization for Timeshare in Europe (Cortés-Jiménez et al, 2012;Stavrinoudis, 2006), as well as different books on timeshare (Hahm et al, 2007;Huang et al, 2011).

“…Perhaps this is due to the continued expansion of the segment and presence of global lodging brands (ARDA, 2010; Gregory, 2011; Kaufman et al , 2011) or recent economic improvements (ARDA International Foundation, 2014). Certainly, opportunities for further investigation in this area exist as researchers have recently only investigated Singapore (Chiang, 2011), and Europe (Cortés-Jiménez et al , 2003).…”

Purpose This paper aims to facilitate an immediate immersion of academic literature in the timeshare/vacation ownership industry. Through a synthesis of 92 articles published in academic journals over the past 40 years, the authors demonstrate the breadth of the current research. Topical areas, methodologies and findings are presented, as well as opportunities for further investigation. This paper also provides the reader with a robust consolidation of literature in a tabular form to include authors, publication dates, sources and titles. Design/methodology/approach Through a comprehensive search of multiple academic research databases, university catalogues and references of existing literature and conference proceedings, the authors compiled a review of timeshare research with the aim of classifying the various components and issues that have been examined to date. Findings The timeshare segment of the greater lodging industry is unique due to its real estate ownership component, complex management characteristics and regulatory environment. The unique nature appeals to researchers and provides an opportunity for investigation of generally accepted theories and principles. The literature follows industry advances in the segment, with the majority of research focused on sales and marketing practices, and resort services and operations. An abundance of future research opportunities is identified in the literature, to which only a few have been addressed. Originality/value A synthesis of timeshare literature has not been published to date, either in hospitality literature or in other fields of study, i.e. real estate. Therefore, the authors provide a foundation for researchers, academics and students to utilize in further study and investigation.

“…The majority of timeshare research has focused on the marketing and purchasing processes [16][17][18]. Other research has looked at consumer satisfaction [15,16,[19][20][21][22][23]. Very little research has been conducted on performance of timeshare resorts as regard to the management structure.…”

This study reviewed performance metrics for HOA controlled timeshare resorts. The study found no difference in occupancy rates between the three models. Self-managed resorts had improved performance metrics over resorts managed by management contracts in areas of maintenance fees costs, collection of maintenance fees, and reserve funds. However, self-managed resorts offered less assistance to owners in rental, resale and exchange programs, and had the lowest resale pricing. Some differences between management company types was found for metrics of foreclosure, special assessments maintenance fee increases, maintenance fee delinquencies, reserve fund expenditures, refurbishment and replacement processes, and rental programs.
