What is the purpose of vacation clubs and timeshare ownership?

To start this article off, let us tell you how it all started. In the mid-1600s, European families wanted to share ownership of a holiday home as it was more affordable that way. They would agree on a schedule and allow each family to use the property accordingly. Over time, this evolved into a structured system that allowed people to buy the right to stay at a specific property for a set amount of time each year. Eventually, people wanted to have more options in terms of locations, which birthed vacation clubs.

It is as simple as its history. Vacation clubs give their members access to resorts and destinations for a certain amount of time each year. To avail of this attractive entitlement, you may invest in a timeshare ownership of a trusted company like Astoria Vacation and Leisure Club, Inc. (AVLCI).

Why should you invest in a timeshare ownership and entrust your holidays to vacation clubs?

By now, you might be thinking, “Why should I become a member when I can just book my own stays?” To start off, having a timeshare ownership allows you to pay a fixed amount in fractions for your future vacations. This way, you won’t have to pay a hefty amount upfront for every single holiday.

Moreover, the ordeal of the planning process will be handled by your vacation club. Just let them know the essential details, and that’s done! This way, you get to enjoy a totally stress-free holiday and reap the benefits of your membership.
