How to find Arizona time share presentations

When the economy was robust, timeshare promotions were a great way to experience a destination location while making a property decision.

In today's economy there are still a few discount timeshare presentations in Arizona, especially Scottsdale and Sedona. But, since the industry has changed its structure, Arizona's timeshare deals are often called something different now by the sponsors.

Hotels and resorts that once brought time shares into a new way to share ownership, now offer cheaper discount packages for short-term get-a-ways at a portion of the price of a timeshare.

The popular traditional timeshare companies like Diamond, Club Wyndham and Marriott Vacation Club still offer presentations for free trial stays and memberships, but are steering consumers to less restrictive promotions.
