Let's face it, vacations are healthy, fun, adventurous and great for forming long-lasting bonds between family and friends. Recent reports indicate that timeshare occupancy is on the rise even though overall visitation to certain areas is on the decline. A recent article in the
Honolulu Star Bulletin supported by research conducted by the
Hawaii Tourism Authority states that
