TATOC, a timeshare association, is the only elected consumers association that represents timeshare owners in Europe.

Last month, the association froze membership fees at the 2008 rate, despite the expected credit crunch for 2009. “During our recent strategy meeting and despite the fact that the Association needs funds to be able to continue its work, it was felt by the Board that in these difficult times we needed to assist our member resorts as much as possible and so there has yet again been no increase in fees” claimed TATOC CEO Taylor.

This is a surprising decision, because the association would greatly benefit from raising membership fees.

TATOC has over 70 member resorts across Europe. These resorts give TATOC access to over 250,000 families in the continent.
