‘houday’ TIMEPLAN TIMESHARING: A NEW WAY TO HOLIDAY When you become a Holiday Timeplan owner you join one of the fastest-growing—and most exciting—clubs in the world. In the space of ten years the time-sharing concept has grown from a localised phenomenon involving just a few families to a world-wide organisation of over 300 resort developments, timeshared by 250,000 families. That’s progress! And growth that rapid just doesn't happen unless there's a very sound principle behind it The principles of time-sharing are indisputable; it combines the benefits of holiday home ownership with the flexibility of rental accommodation. The townhouse is yours to use as you wish for your period of each year, with none of the worries of maintenance, security, subleasing or depreciation normally associated with owning your own holiday home or caravan. All annual overheads incurred during the year are shared by the owner's group, minimising each family's expenses and ensuring that they pay for only what they have used. A professional management team keeps the complex in first-class condition, leaving you free from chores to enjoy your holiday to the full. One of the main reasons for the success of time-sharing is its guarantee against inflation. You pay for your holidays for the next ten years in advance, at less than today's rates. With hotel and motel tariffs increasing at a rate of 13% a year, time-sharing offers a great hedge against inflation. If, for any reason, your family is unable to use its holiday in a particular year, the townhouse can be leased at current market rates and any profit made on the transaction belongs to you. With so many time-share developments springing up around the world, it is a simple matter to trade your time-share with a family from another resort, or another country, Turner Heights is an affiliated member of Interval International, a reciprocal network of 200 resort time-share complexes, whose business it is to arrange time-share travel all over the world. With member resorts located in such exotic places as the Caribbean, Hawaii, Colorado, Mexico and Europe, the opportunities to swap your Queenstown holiday for an overseas equivalent are endless. All you pay is a small agency fee—your accommodation costs are next to nothing! Of course, chances are that you’ll find your Queenstown holiday home so comfortable, so relaxing and so much fun that you won’t want to holiday anywhere else. No other resort in New Zealand—possibly in the world—has so much to offer at so many different times of the year. Queenstown is a winter wonderland of dramatic scenery and fantastic skiing; in Spring the countryside comes alive, summer makes it a sportsman's paradise and Autumn brings hot, hazy days and spectacular colour changes. Queenstown is everyone's dream of the perfect holiday spot. Time-sharing lets you afford it now, in a style and luxury that's international-class. As a Turner Heights time-share owner, you become a member of a very special club. Instead of sharing your holidays with strangers, you meet up with the other families sharing your time each year. Old acquaintances are renewed, old times are remembered, and the fun doesn't stop till it's time to go home. Many friendships made through time-sharing last all year, and you're guaranteed to meet up with the gang again on your next holiday. Whether you get involved in a hectic rounds of parties, barbecues and picnics, or you just put your feet up in the sun, is entirely over to you. Turner Heights provides the atmosphere—all you have to do is pack your clothes and go!
