◦ Fixed timeshares
This kind of timeshare is only for a particular week or days of the year. The resort sells the
particular unit of time says a week or weeks of the year to the person who is willing to
buy it. The rest of the year, other owners in similar fashion utilize it.
◦ Floating timeshare units
A floating timeshare too is only for a particular period of time fixed. But there is no
specification of dates and that is the advantage of floating timeshares, say the owner
is eligible to stay for a week of summer, it can be defined by the owner, which week of
summer he would like to holiday.
◦ Rotational timeshare units
This combines the benefits of both the fixed and the floating type of timeshares. The
rotation of holiday stay can go either backwards or forward on the season and
calendar, giving opportunity to all owners on a rotational basis.
Apart from the above three types of timeshares there are two more kinds
of ownerships of timeshare properties, one being the deeded and the
other right to use type of ownership.
◦ According to the deed property, the owner owns a bit of the real
property, bought and sold under the by-laws of the community
according to the owner’s wishes.
◦ The right to use kind, allows the person to have right on the property for
a particular period of time for a fixed number of years, after which he
does not have any rights on the unit or facilities or the time slot.
Due to the increase in popularity of timeshare concepts apart from the
resorts and apartment style accommodations, it is possible to have a
cruise ship timeshare, campground timeshare, yacht and even private
jet kinds.
