The timeshare industry is a rapidly growing market in real estate. For all those who want to enjoy quality vacations, timeshare has so much to offer.

It means in case the week begins on Friday, then it will end on the coming Friday. Exchange Company is an important term that is widely used in timeshare industry. It refers to an organization or a company that accepts interval weeks on deposit to establish a pool of weeks from its interval members so that it can become possible for other members to choose the vacation times and resort of their choice.

Even though this method is not flexible still it gives a fair chance to each owner to enjoy the prime weeks. It is normal practice in many resorts to use an annual calendar. All the sales for the use of a particular unit are done by week number on the basis of this calendar. Every week will have some type of identification that can be used as and when required.
