The developer of Timeshare, Marriot, expects the stock prices of the company to recover in the year 2010. The stock prices of most companies all over the world had taken a tumble, post the global financial crisis, which began in the last quarter of 2007. This financial crisis has broken the backbone of many leading companies, with quite a few of them closing shop permanently. Some companies managed to show far better results than the others, though business was bad for most of these companies throughout the most part of 2009. Timeshare was one of them.

Whereas other organizations were struggling to stay afloat, this global property development organization had gone on a different path. Amazingly, this company added 100 more resorts to their business in the same frame of time, two in overseas locations. It is this positive aspect of the company that has permitted the developer to make such bright statements. A proper insight into the direction that their business is moving is provided by the balance sheet of the company.

Timeshare has left behinds its financial problems and is forging ahead towards a bright financial future, if the trends of the first quarter of 2009 is any thing to go by. According to the statistics of the company, the number of travelers and business guests to their hotels had seen a growth during the same period. A positive jump of 16% during that period too was shown by the properties of this company in North America. Though other businesses had shown a decline in sales after the global financial crisis, it was different with the leisure holiday industry.

Part of this success was due to the fact that the room rates had been cut slightly during the first quarter of 2009 compared to the same period in 2008. Apart from this, the international tourists where the financial crisis did not have the same impact that it had in America, provided a positive impact.

The 1st quarter trends of 2010 have been positive too and these are reflected on the earnings per share of Timeshare. During the 1st quarter of 2010, Marriot added 8,361 rooms and sold out 1,146. Another 95,000 rooms have been approved, are awaiting conversion, or are under construction.
