Now a Plat Branson is more in my ball park and for whatever reason week 22 is the most demanded. That is my favorite week to travel-but what happens in Branson that makes week 22 the most demanded? Hmmmm. That week is more in demand than T- giving week in Palm Desert. Even though summer in Branson is not that high on the demand scale-it's higher than Gold season in PD.
Thanks Pat...this discussion is helping me a lot. |
The travel demand index don't 'cross over' so even though it might say that summer Branson is 135 versus January that is 85 is ONLY relevant to Branson - not OTHER locations.
It just shows demand in Branson NOT how Branson relates to Palm Springs, get it?
If u looked at Hawaii, it ONLY compares Hawaii in October to Hawaii in July - demand wise, not Hawaii in October to Maine in October.
In Marriott, Platinum will USUALLY out trade a Gold week.
I say USUALLY because Aruba Gold trades extremely well even against other Plat Mar weeks and some resorts have LARGE Plat seasons that aren't really Plat time - such as Newport Coast which runs from mid June thru December. Gold weeks in late May/early June will trade better then Plat weeks in early December/mid November and Fairway Villas Plat season is from early April to early November. June-late August trade GREAT but the first week of November is not prime time in the northeast.
