Budget Travel and Lisa Ann Need to Rethink Its Logic
Budget Travel
RE: Confessions of a timeshare salesperson: Personally I hate the Whole Game It’s a Crock, written by Lisa Ann Schreier
Dear Editor:
I received this article torn from one of your issues from a very true friend in an attempt to provide an alternate perspective to timeshare sales. Clearly Ms. Schreier has issues with her choice of occupation; however she has failed to recognize that the magazine she submitted her article to is as much a scam as she believes her occupation to be.
Buget Travel; indeed! Please, there is no such animal and the advertisers depicted in this periodical are hardly lacking funds and therefore continue to rake in substantial profits as a result of people believing they can have an inexpensive vacation/budget. They can’t. Travel is expensive. That’s a fact. Budget Travel relies on the connotation of the word “budget” to attract the eye of those in search of “a deal.” What is most laughable is that when this word is implemented in business it has little to do with saving money. Examination of the word budget only produces synonyms such as finances, resources, accounts, and funds; however the word has been embraced by the general public to connote a method of saving money. How lucky for Budget Travel and Budget Rental!
Let’s get real. Vacationing is an industry off of which all businesses thrive. If vacationing is a scam then it follows that buying a home, having a family, planting a garden, learning a sport, etc.; all are a swindle for each leads to further expense. True, timeshare purchases lead to continued payments, but when the buyer makes an educated decision, that buyer has locked the family into taking vacations in a style that is far more beneficial than the confines of a closet with a couple of beds, a bathroom and few free amenities.
All too often we humans tend to procrastinate. We would never work-out unless we joined a gym, we would hardly consider a family until we held a baby, and we seldom take vacations until we buy into a yearly plan. It is this human procrastination quality that created Christmas Clubs in banks.
We need vacations. Mark Twain often stated that the whole world should be on vacation as often as possible for it frees the mind of day-to-day irritations found in our daily lives.
Scams? Life itself is a scam, until it is embraced and enjoyed. I sell timeshare and I am proud of what it is that I do because my owners smile knowing that they will be vacationing for years to come and exchanging their timeshares to destinations that were only dreams and procrastinations previous to their purchase.
Get well soon Ms. Schreier. My personal prescription: Take a vacation!
Email me! We have the finest timeshare!
