Timeshare<\/g> properties in the Caribbean affected by Hurricanes last year are bouncing back and so are the economies of the countries where they are located.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Hurricanes battered the island of St. Maarten, the USVI and BVI which are known for their strong shared ownership resorts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, one year later Neil Kolton a leading expert in the regional timeshare business says those that have been hit are bouncing back at tremendous rates.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

“The good news is, all our clients<\/g> are fully committed. If they are not already reopened, they are actively building and are excited about reopening.”<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Kolton who works with Interval International says major timeshare properties in St. Maarten, St, John and other parts of the region are functioning one year after Hurricanes Irma and Maria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said about 50 per cent<\/g> of properties is<\/g> back online with near full restoration expected in the next year.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

“And the resorts never looked better,” he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some properties suffered total destruction and while some have been slow to reopen other have returned bigger and better.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

“The industry will get back on track pretty soon.”<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Generally, Kolton says timeshare continues to grow and evolve with the Caribbean retaining its position as the most highly sought after market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
