New Timeshare Resorts Open and More Timeshare Information

With the start of a new year, 2021 has the promise of better things to come for the overall travel industry and timeshares in particular. Talk of vaccines has dominated discussions about the timeframe for a rebounding tourism sector, with the World Travel & Tourism Council forecasting that over 100 million tourism jobs could come back this year.

While the industry holds its breath regarding the effectiveness of the COVID vaccine, timeshare operators are moving ahead with new timeshare resorts, refurbished properties and encouragement for travelers to start planning your next vacation.
