Cancun, Mexican Timeshare Paradise

Do you know where the Mexican paradise is located? Cancun, located in the state of Quintana Roo, is undoubtedly one of the most attractive tourist destinations in Mexico.

If you decide to travel by car, you will drive 1,617 kilometers from Mexico City. This is quite a long trip, but you can take the opportunity to stop and visit a town or city that is surely worth the trip. But even so, if you choose to travel by plane, the flight time will be only 1 hour and 36 minutes.

Cancun's tourist area covers more than 22 kilometers of beaches, running parallel to the famous Kukulcan Boulevard.

Its crystal clear waters and beautiful beaches make it a mystical destination for weddings, honeymoons, graduation or leisure travel. It has many uses, as long as your time, budget and adrenaline allow it. Its beaches are famous for their fine white coral sand, which contrasts with the transparent water of different shades of blue that will make you fall in love. Some of the beaches include Punta Maroma, Playa Gaviota Azul, Playa del Secreto, Playa Delfines and El Mirador.

Very close to this international destination we find natural attractions, amusement parks and archaeological sites as important as Chichen Itza or Tulum. But did you know that Cancun also has archaeological remains? We are talking about the areas of El Rey and El Meco. You definitely need to live the experience to be able to realize the magic of Cancun, and it's true what they say, after visiting Cancun, Mexico's tourist capital, you will want to come back year after year. And you can do just that when you own a Cancun timeshare.

Owners of any vacation property in Quintana Roo will be guaranteed a luxurious stay at the coveted resort they purchase, so they never have to worry about booking an expensive, mediocre hotel.

Selling timeshare allows you to live all these experiences in a unique way, meeting people from all over the world is a completely amazing experience, the style and dynamics of this job is also fun and above all addictive. People who experience this lifestyle and make a career out of this profession hardly ever leave.

The characteristics of this job allow you to develop your communication, negotiation and conflict resolution skills, etc. It is true that you must keep in mind that you are not offering just any product, Garza Blanca and TAFER resorts in general offer only quality products and services at 5 diamond level, the facilities and infrastructure of the resorts is out of series, and the benefits, but above all the customer service we provide makes us stand out from the hotel chains in the state, which are many and of great recognition. Even so, we are positioned in the top 10 best resorts to stay in Cancun according to TripAdvisor.

In TAFER Residence club, we manage a points scheme for sales, but what do we mean by points? I'll explain a little more below. What are timeshare points?

The points system is a relatively new form of vacation ownership. This system allows the owner to purchase timeshare or vacation points that can be used for travel during specific times of the year. The more points you purchase, the more flexibility you have to travel during peak seasons. More points will entitle you to larger units or a higher-end resort.

Another advantage of the points system is that it gives you flexibility. You can use a certain number of your points for a one-night stay or up to the maximum number of points purchased. Flexibility is a great advantage of the points system, although everything is subject to availability. Today, points are a very popular system. However, if you need school vacation time, there is nothing better than owning your own week in August: guaranteed occupancy for you year after year.

Is timeshare a good investment?

You should not consider timeshare as a form of real estate investment. However, it is an excellent investment in experiences, as it guarantees you the highest level of accommodations and services for many years to come for your vacation.

Now, is Cancun considered a prime tourist attraction and destination for timeshare? According to the official website of the Mexican government, "The destinations chosen by national and international owners to make use of their timeshare vary significantly. The former prefer Cancun, Acapulco, Ixtapa and Mazatlan, while the latter share the preference for Cancun along with Los Cabos and Puerto Vallarta". It is also mentioned that "regarding the penetration of timeshare in the tourist offer, in 2010, it represented 41.2% of the lodging offer in Mexico. By tourist destination, there are some of them in which timeshare lodging occupies an important percentage of the total lodging in such destination. Such is the case, for example, of Mazatlan where it represents around 67.6%, Los Cabos 66.1%, Puerto and Nuevo Vallarta 63.1%". We think it is important to mention that timeshare owners are from different states of the Mexican Republic and from other countries.

In 2010, of the total number of timeshare buyers, 66.1% were from the United States, 25.9% from Mexico, 5.7% from Canada and 2.30% from other countries. Regarding the destination selected for the purchase of timeshares, it is interesting to note that foreign owners choose the Mexican Caribbean and Baja California regions, while Mexican owners prefer mainly the Pacific coasts.

The location of hotels and condominiums located in the best tourist centers of the country, the infrastructure and services available and the privileged geographical position due to the proximity to the United States and Canada are some of the factors that have contributed to the fact that more and more people buy a timeshare service to enjoy their vacation periods in our country every year.

The prices of these depend on the destination where the development is located, the season in which the period is purchased (super high season, which are the weeks of Christmas and Easter, high, medium and low season), the number of people that can be accommodated and the duration of the timeshare (from 10 to 50 years). The more services and facilities the vacation unit has, the higher its value will be. Regarding the payment scheme, most of the time, the user must pay the membership fee (either in cash or by means of a credit that implies the payment of an advance payment and then make monthly payments for a certain period of time). In addition, on an annual basis, the user must pay maintenance fees set by each tourist development. These are required to maintain in optimal physical condition and operation all the facilities of the tourist development, as well as to pay for the daily cleaning of the housing units, maintenance services for furniture and equipment, and to cover the amounts of various services such as water, electricity, gas, air conditioning, garbage collection, maintenance of buildings and common facilities, among others.

In addition, in some cases, the owner must pay extraordinary fees. In this sense, NOM-029-SCFI-2010 establishes that these are payments generated by unforeseeable events in the normal operation and maintenance of the property or establishment that are urgent, necessary or indispensable for the total or partial conservation of the same; as well as of its common areas, facilities, equipment and services; for the conservation or replacement of furniture or equipment, or those without whose application the establishment or part of it runs the risk of being lost, destroyed or deteriorated in such a way that it cannot comply with the rendering of the timeshare service.

When for any reason the timeshare owner wants to sell or rent its right to use the space, it must request the approval of the developer. Therefore, a timeshare is only a vacation option and not an investment.

According to articles in the online magazine "El Financiero", by the end of 2018, income from timeshare sales in Mexico will total 4.7 billion dollars, which will place the country in second place worldwide only behind the United States, estimated Juan Ignacio Rodriguez, vice president of business at RCI. Of the 6 billion dollars that the Latin American market represents for RCI, 78.3 percent comes from Mexico. In the country, vacation ownership, as timeshare is also known, benefits from its proximity to the United States. "Eighty percent of vacation ownership sales in Mexico are to foreigners, most of whom are Americans or Canadians," said Rodríguez Ignacio.

Families are the main users of timeshare and travel an average of 6 days a year, generating an income of around one thousand dollars per person. As I mentioned before, our resort is identified not as a timeshare as such, but as a vacation club, but to understand the difference I will explain below what you need to know.

What is the difference?

The vacation club is a type of membership that we offer in the tourism sector with the objective of providing greater flexibility in your vacations and with access to special rates. This means that you will have access to exclusive hotels and the same price will be respected for as long as your membership lasts, which is usually for life so you can always enjoy the vacations you deserve.

Another feature that distinguishes a vacation club from a timeshare is that it works with a points system, that is, reservations and even consumption within some hotels are handled by redeeming these points.

Other important information to take into account about working in Cancun, regardless of the sector in which you work, is the following:

How many hours do you work in Cancun?

The average hours worked per week in Cancun can vary from 45 to 50 hours. These can increase towards the weekend and not to mention in high season, but tips also increase due to the flow of tourists during those times of the year. It all depends on where you work. Of course, in all tourism areas it is very common to work around 50 hours a week or more: it all depends on the position you have.

As we can see, it is possible to work in Cancun and earn well with the right effort, but to do it properly we must review all the keys and conditions to see how to work in Cancun, especially if you are a foreigner. In Mexico we are a country that has open doors for foreigners. So, can you work in Cancun being a foreigner? Yes you can, Mexicans are distinguished by our hospitality in all senses and in the labor field is no exception, as long as the guidelines set by the National Institute of Migration (INM) are met by both the hiring companies and the foreign employees hired.

It is a fact that the Riviera Maya is a strong tourist and labor attraction. Many foreigners come to Cancun in search of work, but without authorization, especially during high seasons such as Easter, summer vacations or New Year's Eve. It is a problem detected by the INM, especially Europeans and South Americans who get permission for up to 180 days (maximum time established by the General Population Law) to stay as "tourists" in our country.
