Club vacacional vs tiempo compartido | JOSÉ CHAPUR en Cracks Podcast

José Chapur contrasts traditional timeshares (tiempo compartido) with vacation clubs (club vacacional). He explains that timeshares convey property rights for long terms (e.g., ~30 years or lifetime) and can be purchased by week or biweekly periods, whereas a vacation club is a membership-only product. Chapur recounts 1990s aggressive sales (OPC teams selling from vans), notes the product has professionalized, and says vacation clubs now build trust for travel and investment in Mexico—primarily used by beach resorts, with few city-hotel exceptions.
