Shared vacation ownership boosts<br />

South Africa’s economy<br />

South Africa is ranked the 5th highest country for vacation ownership and<br />

4th in terms of future purchase interest. Among the top establishments are<br />

Drakensberg Sun. Not only is shared vacation ownership good for our health<br />

by ensuring that we take regular holidays, it’s also good for our country’s<br />

economy. According to a 2016 worldwide Oxford Economics Industry Study,<br />

the timeshare industry spans the globe with 5,491 resorts and 194 million<br />

room nights, supporting nearly 1.3 million jobs.<br />

In South Africa, which is ranked the 5th highest country for vacation<br />

ownership and 4th in terms of future purchase interest, it is a R3.5 billion per<br />

annum industry that has a significant footprint in the tourism and hospitality<br />

sectors. It’s knock-on effect has a positive impact on the country’s economy<br />

by contributing billions of rand to the GDP and generating employment for<br />

around 27 000 people, ranging from highly skilled to informal positions. Alex<br />

Bosch, spokesman for the Vacation Ownership Association of Southern<br />

Africa (VOASA), said the study also found that vacation owners generally<br />

spend more than double what a hotel guest spends on local attractions.<br />

Timeshare made up for 63% of the apartments in Umhlanga, 60% of the<br />

apartments in the Drakensberg and 70% of the apartments in the Hazyview<br />

/ Kruger Park area.<br />
