"My view on fractional ownership: a growth business. The upper middle class has hunger for a taste of the most affluent life. They detest low asset utilization - fractional is fun."

Michael J. Silverstein , The Boston Consulting Group

"Fractional ownership is quickly becoming a mainstream way of living and is emerging as one of this decade’s major paradigms in consumer behavior."
