It actually has nothing to do with the saturation of resorts, rather a combination of 5 factors: location, season, size, quality and amenities.

Agreed, plus supply and demand.

location is vitally important. If you own in one of the top three tourist destinations, you will have an EASIER TIME (3 is Hawaii, 2 is Las Vegas, 1 is Orlando) due to the demand.

Not necessarily ... I do agree with Hawaii but Orlando is oversaturated with resorts (128 resorts in all with something like 28,000 units) and Vegas is beginning to be oversaturated with timeshare resorts along with thousands of nice rooms availible via luxury hotels. The highest trading power is the most desirable locations with the least amount of availibility (again, supply and demand).

====== I agree with jayjay’s observation of supply and demand. I own a timeshare in New England (which is no longer an II 5-star resort), which has more trading power than my 5-Star resort in Williamsburg. For example, there are probably less timeshare resorts in all of New England than in the Orlando area alone. It can be very difficult to exchange into a summer week in New England, especially if one is looking for Cape Cod, MA or Newport, RI.
