Yes, the T/S industry lacks the ethical, principled and intelligent, practical people to fix the issues. Folks with marketing savy, who know and understand human nature and business principles. Issues....ever increasing maintenance fees, lies about the resort's fees relative to the average fees, non-disclosure, lack of rental and sales marketing programs to assist in minimizing costs, lies about the reasons for renovations and the increasing fees that go with it, incompetent board members. The answer is to walk away, let them stew in their own juices. Rent your time from Red Week and other T/S sites, or go to airb'nb and other rental companies advertising vacation properties. I give the industry 10 yrs before it collapses in upon itself.
