“…At the opposite end of the accommodation spectrum there has been a burst of research around second homes tourism and of the local development implications of recreational second home development particularly for South African small towns (Hoogendoorn et al, 2005(Hoogendoorn et al, , 2009Hoogendoorn & Visser, 2010a, 2010bBaker & Mearns, 2011;. Other accommodation focussed research in South Africa has included works on backpacker accommodation, homestays, guest houses, the conventional bed and breakfast sector and the distinctive bed and breakfast economy of South African townships (Visser & Van Huyssteen, 1997, 1999Visser, 2003b;Nuntsu et al 2004;Rogerson, 2004Rogerson, , 2007.

The timeshare industry is one of most under-researched aspects of tourism accommodation. Within existing scholarship most writings pertain to industry development and challenges in the USA and Europe. This paper provides an examination of the evolution and consolidation of the timeshare industry in South Africa from the 1980s to the present-day. The South African timeshare industry is revealed as one of the most mature in the international timeshare economy. Historically, the industry confronted parallel challenges to those in developed countries in respect of adapting the product to local conditions and confronting a tarnished image from the impact of unscrupulous developers. Currently the South African timeshare sector faces different challenges including service management and consumer dissatisfaction, marginalization within the tourism economy, and the need to address the emerging Black middle class market.

“…These accommodation units contribute to tourism's diversity and are popular for providing a friendly atmosphere for guests. This concept is not new and was first seen in Europe (Nuntsu, Tassiopoulos & Haydam, 2002). A stay in a B&B or Inn is always interactive and unique, in that the personality of the operator/owner will influence its operation (Lee et al, 2003;Kline, Morrison and John, 2004).…”
