    September Vacation Ownership Sentiment Index

    The Q3 Vacation Ownership Sentiment Index is now available.

    An online survey was conducted by Sports & Leisure Research Group for ARDA Research & Insights in September 2024 among a nationally representative sample of 500 U.S. based timeshare owners and 500 leisure travelers.

    • Planned travel and expenditure levels
    • Willingness to travel and make reservations
    • Widening or narrowing of booking windows
    • Recent and anticipated guest experience service delivery and satisfaction
    • General sentiment and perceptions of key category engagement drivers
    • Relative variances in travel engagement levels and behaviors between timeshare owners and the broader travel market
