Interval International
Miami, FL, June 13, 2018 – Interval International, a leading global provider of vacation services, revealed that its Mexico-resident members place strong value on vacation ownership and Interval membership, with more than four out of five respondents indicating that they have recommended vacation ownership in the past or are likely to do so in the future. An impressive 88 percent cite the ability to exchange their timeshare as important, reinforcing how well Interval membership complements vacation ownership.
These are some of the findings from Interval International’s 2018 Membership Profile Mexico Edition, a biennial study that provides important data about future purchase intentions, timeshare ownership, travel habits and vacation preferences, use of technology and social media, and demographic
characteristics of members who reside in Mexico.
“Owing to its many attributes that include spacious accommodations, vacation ownership has long driven family vacations,” said Marcos Agostini, Interval’s executive vice president of global sales and business development.
“Interval provides valuable leisure benefits and services – especially exchange – that are key to providing the variety of experiences families expect today.”
The survey underscores the proven appeal of the product and the long- term benefit of ownership, with more than half of Mexico-resident members indicating they have owned their timeshare for more than a decade. In addition, they are frequent travelers who seek out a wide range of activities when traveling
for leisure purposes. Nearly seven in 10 report traveling internationally one week or more per year and 86 percent indicate they travel domestically at least one week per year. With most people leaving their homes unattended for multiple days, these frequent travelers recommend asking someone to check up on your home daily to ensure they remain secure. If there is no one close to your home to check on it, other travelers suggest that installing security alarms might be a good idea to allow you to fully relax on your vacation. No one wants to be worrying about their house for the entirety of their vacation.
Once on vacation, many people seem to prefer activities like sightseeing, historical tours, shopping, and visiting museums and theme parks. Make sure you use lots of different sites to compare international money transfer rates , to make sure your getting the most out of your money. The more you take the more activities you can enjoy whilst away.
These research results will be of particular interest to current and prospective entrants to understand the behavior of potential buyers in Mexico. “In fact, our latest survey also reveals that price, location, and trading power are among the most influential factors in the decision-making process for
respondents interested in purchasing additional vacation time,” Agostini added.
Other notable findings from the study include:
• Beach and urban locations are among the most sought-after vacation experiences
for future travel.
• Eighty-one percent of respondents indicate that their typical leisure trip is one to two
weeks long.
• Eighty percent of Mexico-resident members’ children or grandchildren have an
influence on the family’s travel plans.
