Having the knowledge of which timeshare properties are the most desirable can give more insight into their next timeshare purchase. Many can use the information to seek out the most desirable properties for the trading power and the ideal time and location of the property, while some may look towards other properties in order to steer clear of the densely populated resorts. Whatever the reason, gaining the knowledge of which resorts are Marriott’s most popular timeshare destinations is a great benefit for an owner.
