New Travel Magazine Covers Timeshare Property

Posted on June 11, 2004

Bigfish Publications, an Arizona-based specialty magazine publisher, has announced the launch of its newest publication, Hiatus Travel Magazine. Hiatus is a national consumer travel magazine that will focus on vacation and timeshare properties.

Ongoing research has shown that one of the biggest barriers for the timeshare industry is the consumer's lack of knowledge of the product and how it works. David Wood, Editor in Chief says, "Hiatus will change all of that. It will change the way people buy and exchange timeshare property. Hiatus will decipher the facts, myths and inaccuracies of buying a timeshare and encourage families to thoroughly e xplore the array of vacation ownership options available to today's discriminating traveler."

Destination features in Hiatus will cover worldwide locations that have timeshare accommodations available for purchase, exchange or rental. Hiatus also offers ongoing education on timesharing for the owner and the potential owner. Resorts and activities will be reviewed by editors and recommended based on the editor's first-hand experience. Readers can also write reviews through the resort database on gohiatus.com. Each issue will also feature one or more of the Bigfish signature comparison charts, which allow the reader to compare many resorts or products side by side on a number of criteria.

The quarterly magazine was unveiled to the timeshare industry at the American Resort Development Association's (ARDA) Convention & Expo held in May in Las Vegas. Hiatus is published by Bigfish Publications, a Scottsdale-based specialty consumer and leisure magazine publisher.
