    Timeshare Traveler Episode 120... Timeshare Challenge to AirBnb?

    Timeshare companies are just beginning to respond to AirBnb / VRBO type companies. They are still behind, but they are making efforts. My favorite comparison is to compare Netflix to Amazon / Apple Movies. Netflix is only movies, where Apple and Amazon have Movies and Much more. Timeshares...
