Holiday Property

Article Abstract:

The United Kingdom holiday property market fell 22% in real terms in 1996 from 1991, although holiday property values were in recovery. United Kingdom consumers spent 10% less on holiday cottages and homes, partly because of a fall in the number of available properties. The global timeshare market is growing, despite the negative publicity in the UK. The anticipated growth of the market to the year 2000 is highly dependent on the over 44-year-olds. The market is examined in detail.
