Effect of Global Warming on Timeshare Industry

Posted on August 5, 2008 in Latest News

Timeshare industry – tourism with commercial ethics and eternal natural essence. Some areas in the world are desperately depended on the timeshare industry. Definitely, the nature conditions may vary widely – beach resort areas, pool or river-side areas, hill stations, urban development centers, sports and recreational clubs.

But, since climate change has come on to the scene it’s not worthy saying that timeshare industry is blessed with natural essence. Several reasons are listed below which represent the effect of global warming on timeshare industry.

Reasons that represent the effect of global warming on timeshares:

• Nine of the past ten years have been recorded as hottest:
  Hottest weather conditions may affect the snow industry and skiing resorts very badly. If the environment is very hot, it is pretty difficult for snow making.

• Carbon emissions:
  The rising carbon emissions may harm timeshares. If the trend continues, the sea level will rise by 2 to 3 feet by the end of the century. No scientific prediction is there from the scientists to explain the future of the beach resorts.

• Electricity and Transportation:
  In the U.S, nationwide, the production of the electricity is the bigger contributor to greenhouse gasses’ emission; but, in New England, transportation takes the position.

Researchers have been striving hard to set a check for carbon emission. They are very confident that carbon emissions can be cut down to half by 2050, using technologies that already exist. But, the technology need to be put into the place. The solution must include natural resources or altenate energy sources like solar power and wind power because the problem is so huge and so pervasive.

President and CEO of an American online timeshare web portal, said, “We should make some simple lifestyle changes that will have drastic effects on global warming. We should keep our awareness updated to protect our environment from this kind of hazardous impact.”

While explaining the initiative steps taken by the timeshare companies, President of a resort management company of the U.S said, “Timeshare companies are trying very hard to employ those simple but effective changes in resort areas. We made our environment green with landscapes, started utilizing solar energy and wind energy as an alternate resource for electricity, and eco-friendly bulbs and lamps.”

The worries have been growing for timeshare managers with risisng floods and hurricanes. People won’t get interested to rent a timeshare condo, if there is a possibility of flood. The timeshare owners are the most awaiting persons who wish a genuine solution for global warming.
