New, first-of-its-kind platform provides free information about timeshare exit to curious owners

WASHINGTON, Aug. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- ARDA, the trade association for the vacation ownership and timeshare industries, has launched The Timeshare Consumer Protection Center (TCPC) to help owners considering timeshare exit get accurate, helpful information free of charge.

The TCPC provides owners with a detailed overview on the various avenues to timeshare exit – from options like reselling, to renting, to simply returning the timeshare to the company it was purchased from – as well as advice and perspectives from industry experts.

Additionally, the TCPC details the pros and cons of working with third-party exit companies, and how to spot and avoid falling victim to fraudulent exit activity.

"As the timeshare industry continues to mature, timeshare owners find themselves flooded with misinformation and half-truths about their options when they decide that timeshare ownership no longer fits their vacation needs," said ARDA President & CEO Jason Gamel. "We created the TCPC because, contrary to what many exit companies want owners to believe, timeshare exit doesn't have to be expensive, difficult, or time-consuming. The TCPC allows owners to get all the facts about timeshare exit without the pressure of sales or the risk of scams."

Timeshare owners who want to explore their timeshare exit options for free can visit TheTCPC.org to learn more.
