Time Shares

Time Shares are still a booming business and several companies have resorts in the Smoky Mountain area. While you are walking around on the streets of Pigeon Forge you get approached by salesmen that offer you free tickets to shows and attractions. In order to get the tickets you have to sit through a time share presentation. What we found out was if you don't want the tickets they offer cash. Either $100 or $125 for each tour. There are 5 companies willing to pay so you can make some cash if you are in the area for a while.

And that is exactly what we did. We went to three tours. It paid for our hotel and expenses while in the area. And we learned a lot about high pressure sales.

One thing to remember, never buy a timeshare directly from the resort. You can buy it resale for 50% off or more.
