Buying Fractional Ownership, Resort Real Estate & Timeshares

Vacation ownership is one of the fastest growing, most profitable sectors of Asia Pacific’s hospitality and leisure industry. Once the domain of private developers selling set weeks, the sector now includes publicly-traded hospitality companies actively developing a range of products for a plethora of markets, from the ubiquitous full service resort to boutique hideaways and more recently chic urban locales. While the vacation ownership industry continues to experience increased profit growth and mounting interest from consumers as a result of the industry’s evolvement, Wyndham Vacation Resorts Asia Pacific is powering ahead to keep up with demand. Having recently cemented plans for new resorts in Coffs Harbour, Australia; Lake Wanaka, New Zealand and Phuket, Thailand, we are certainly living up to our reputation as the largest vacation ownership company in Asia Pacific.

As the region’s leader, we actively embrace international vacation ownership trends and pioneer the way for these in the Asia Pacific. One such trend is the development of urban properties. Whilst we’re certainly not about to abandon the tried and true of beachside resorts, we are keen to diversify our developmentoptions and expand on our interests in Sydney and Perth with other Australian metropolitan locations and possibly even in Asia. As a development, the urban property attracts a range of different owners, in addition to satisfying an additional need for traditional Vacation Ownership families who frequent beachside resorts. There are owners who simply find the buzz of a big city addictive. Owners attracted by the cultural, entertainment and sporting events a metropolis can offer; owners in search of shopping and cosmopolitan dining, business travellers, couples, families and even singles. The urban escape is a largely untapped market for vacation ownership in Asia Pacific, yet one that has the potential for phenomenal growth.
