Now the next catch is the location of the resort suggested by the Timeshare company...
It will be too far from the main town and you will not have any options for your food but only from them, at least twice. At any cost four members of a family have to spend Rs. 550/- for dinner and 350 for breakfast, minimum per person, which for a person comes to Rs.900/-. Now it gets multiplied for four members of the family, which makes it Rs.3600/-. The seven days holiday meals will cost somewhere around Rs.25200/-
Timeshare companies give only rooms but the food has to be paid for while on tour. My Holiday club hotels give breakfast and dinner along with the packages, included in their special rates.
Now just see the amount you are spending on a timeshare on average every year.
Interest 6% on the minimum membership of Rs.500000 is Rs.30000/.
The annual maintenance Fee mandatory which a member has to pay is Rs.22000/.
The food expenses for 7 days is Rs.25000/.
So total Rs.50000 + Rs.30000 + Rs.220000 = Rs.102000/. ( One lakh and two thousand)
The next catch, in the travel arrangement by the Timeshare company, is the usage of any services/facilities at the resort. All things you use at the resort-like cycling, swimming, and so on is billed on you.
