Dear Honorable Leithead-Todd:
Subject: Proposed Timeshare Resolution -Bridge Puako, LLC.
Waikoloa, South Kohala, HI, TMK: 6-8-1: Portions of 25,36 to 40
At the Planning Commission meeting of March 3, 2000 regarding the subject matter,
the contents of the enclosed report, entitled Timeshare Industry Economic Impact Summary,
prepazed by KPMG for Bridge Capital, LLC. was shazed the Planning Commission.
The report discusses specifically the economic and some of the related impacts of
timeshare. Some of the more salient points made include:
• there has been a growth in this industry, and a number of well-known hotels (such
as Disney, Mazriott, Hyatt, Hilton, Four Seasons, and Westin) "have established
thriving timeshare development and management operations."
• the County of Hawaii is under-represented in terms of number of timeshare units
compazed to visitor arrivals.
• the timeshare demographics for Hawaii indicate a fairly wealthy group who is well
educated and middle aged (53 years); and stays longer, has a higher repeat
visitation rate, and collectively (by room) spends more than a typical visitor.
• "timeshare owners spend more time in their units than hotel guests or whole-
owned condominium owners." Thus, the traffic impacts would be equal to or less
than a typical hotel visitor or a condominium renter.
We would appreciate your sharing this report with the rest of your committee. Please
also note that the author of this study will be present at your committee meeting, tentatively
scheduled for Apri14, to discuss the report and answer any questions you and/or your
committee may have.

Re: Timeshare Industry Economic Impact Summary
Dear Mr. Baldwin:
KPMG LLP (KPMG) is pleased to submit the attached final report entitled "Timeshare
Industry Economic Impact Summary." Our report summarizes the findings and
conclusions of our assistance to you.
BACKGROUND
' Bridge Puako LLC is the owner of a 3,000-acre vacant resort development site (the
a Puako Property), located in the South Kohala District of the Island of Hawaii. The Puako
Property is located on Mamalahoa Highway, across from the existing Mauna Lani Resort,
and is currently entitled for development of 2,500 residential units.
Bridge Puako LLC is proposing to develop 500 to 900 timeshare units on the Puako
Property. Because the current entitlements do not allow for resort development, a Hawaii
County resolution is needed in order for timeshare use to be allowed for future
development purposes.
In this regard, you have asked KPMG to provide a description and summary of the
economic impact of the timeshare industry on the Island of Hawaii to assist in providing
information in your petition to allow for timeshare use on the Puako property.

TIMESHARE INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
Vacation ownership has existed in the United States since the 1970s. The industry is also
known as "timeshare," "interval ownership" and/or "vacation clubs."
- Timesharing is a form of real property ownership that is divided into "interests" or
"intervals." Typically, the ownership of a timeshare unit is divided into 51 weeks, with
one week reserved for maintenance of the unit. In Hawaii, ownership of a timeshare
interval is defined as any interest in a timeshare unit or plan that entitles the owner or
holder to the use, occupancy or possession of a timeshare unit on a periodically recurring
basis (Hawaii Revised Statutes Section 514E-1).
Timeshare plans include both "timeshare ownership plans" and "timeshare use plans," as
explained below:
¦ Timeshare ownership plan - A plan whereby the purchaser receives an actual
' ownership interest and the right to use the property for a specific or discernible
i period and is established through tenancy in common, sale, deed or by other
means.
¦ Timeshare use plan - A plan whereby the purchaser receives the right to use an
` accommodation or facility, or both, for a specific discernible period and is
established through membership agreement, lease, rental agreement, license, use
agreement, security or other means. The purchaser of a timeshare use plan does
not receive ownership interest, but instead receives the right to use the property.
Timeshare ownership provides owners vv~ith many options, such as:
¦ Provides the opportunity to own a part of a vacation destination, while only paying
for the time that they will realistically utilize. For example, a resort condominium
may be purchased at a cost of $200.000 to $1,200.000. The cost of a timeshare
interval may range from $10.000 to $24.000. Thus, the affordability of vacation
ownership allows a significantly greater number of people the opportunity to own
a vacation home in a resort destination.
¦ Providing for a prepaid lifetime vacation. Through the ownership of a timeshare
interval, owners are able to frequent favorite vacation destinations on an annual or
biannual basis. The groNKh of exchange company networks has made exchanges
;tea
Mr. John K. Baldwin

easier for owners and has provided a plethora of vacation destinations to choose
from.
¦ Provides for a more financially feasible alternative to owning a vacation home or
condominium.
Growth of the Worldwide Timeshare Industry
The worldwide timeshare industry is the fastest growing segment of the travel and
tourism industry, growing at a compounded growth rate of 15% since 1993. Currently
there are over 5,000 timeshare resorts worldwide with a global sales volume in excess of
56.0 billion. The industry's grov<nh has been fueled by a number of factors, the most
' important of which include:
' ¦ Entrance of well-known hotel companies into the business, making vacation
ownership a more viable mainstream hospitality product. These hotel companies
bring an international reputation; system-wide benefits, linkages and marketing
synergies; professional sales staffs operating under strict standards; quality resorts;
and most importantly, access to capita] to finance their projects. Companies such
as Marriott, Disney, Hyatt, Hilton, Four Seasons and Westin have established
' thriving timeshare development and management operations and it remains a high
priority for many other branded hospitality enterprises. For example, Promus
Hotels and Resorts has entered into the business through certain relationships with
i both Vistana and Sunterra, and The Carlson Companies continues to invest
- significant time and energy into establishing a niche for its timeshare operations.
' ¦ Increased flexibility in usage and improvement in the vacation ownership
product including floating versus fixed weeks, opportunities to trade for other
forms of accommodations such as hotels or cruises (especially with the major hotel
companies), and an increase in travel benefits and services.
¦ Increasing awareness of the "hospitality" aspect of timeshare, with projects
increasingly operated by companies and professional resort managers experienced
in the service accommodation sector. Vacation ownership is becoming more
closely associated with leisure travel than with real estate.
¦ "Exchange" opportunities provided by timeshare exchange companies that allow
owners to trade their intervals at other member resorts internationally. The
exchange opportunity has been cited as a major motivation in the purchase of
timeshares.
,era
Mr. John K. Baldwin

¦ ]mproved a~~ailability of financing for purchasers, due to the stronger financing
capabilities of larger companies, and ]ow default experience of recent projects.
¦ Greater consumer acceptance and confidence arising from self-regulation and
reform of the industry, enforcement of a code of ethics, growth of exchange
networks. entrance of brand-name hotel corporations and an increase in caliber and
quality of resorts.
¦ Comprehensive industry regulation passed at both state and federal levels
designed to curb past objectionable practices in the industry.
One of the most important purchasing decision factors is the purchaser's familiarity with
the resort area prior to purchase. This explains the success of timeshare projects located
within an established destination vacation area or destination resort. Being a proven area
for the vacation public. the developer does not need to worry about creating demand for
the project. The top five purchasing motivations listed in The United States Timeshare
hzdustry Study, Overriex~ and Economic Impact Analysis published by ARDA for the
U.S. market are:
¦ Exchange opportunity
¦ Quality accommodations
¦ Good value
¦ Resort, amenities and unit specifics
¦ Credibility of the timeshare company
HAWAII TIMESHARE DEMAND INDICATORS
The State of Hawaii currently has an inventory of almost 4,000 timeshare units, as shown
- on following Exhibit A. The Big Island holds about 14% of the State's total timeshare
units and ranks fourth in timeshare inventory, behind Kauai, Maui and Oahu (i.e. all other
major islands).
The Big Island has experienced minimal growth in the supply of timeshare units as
compared to sizable increases on Kauai and Maui. However, several factors indicate a
strong and pent-up demand for timesharing on the Big Island.
¦ Under-representation of timeshare units compared to visitor arrivals -The Big
- Island attracted 18% of the states visitors in ] 999, yet possesses only l4% of the
Mr. John K. Baldwin
Bridge Capital LLC
March 3, 2000
Page 5
state`s timeshare unit inventory, as also shown in Exhibit 2-B. Hence, the Big Island
appears to be under-served with regard to supply of timeshare unit inventory.
¦ High average sales prices and sales volume - ]t should also be noted that with only
l4% of the States timeshare unit inventory, the Big ]stand boasts 26.4% of the State's
timeshare sales volume. This high level of sales volume in relation to inventory is
indicative of a high level demand. This results from higher quality units on the Big
Island as well as strong timeshare demand due to the longer average lengths of stay
and older and more affluent visitor base of Big Island visitors which increases
propensity to seek timeshare accommodations.
Hawaii Timeshare Owner Demographic Characteristics
The most recent Hawaii timeshare demographic data available is from a 1996 KPMG
study entitled "Hawaii's Timeshare Industry - An Industry Overview and Economic
Impact Analysis". This latest available data indicates that Hawaii timeshare owners are
the cream of the visitor industry and are generally more affluent, well-educated, older and
stay longer at their destination than other visitors as shown in Exhibit C.
¦ Average household income -Hawaii's timeshare owners are relatively wealthy
and have house hold incomes which are typically higher than U.S. timeshare
y owners.
L ¦ Education -Generally, timeshare owners tend to be well educated, with nearly
i 63% having some type of college degree. Additionally, newer owners aze
increasingly more educated due to the higher socio-economic markets attracted by
the branded-timeshare companies and higher quality independent projects. The
proportion of new owners purchasing with graduate degrees is over one-third.
¦ Average age of household head -Overall, the average age of the head of a
household that owns timeshare intervals in Hawaii is about 53.
¦ Average party size -The average party size of timeshare vacationers in Hawaii is
3.4. This is double the size of the average party for typical Hawaii visitors. This
emphasizes their need for larger condominium-style accommodations than are
available in hotels
¦ Average length of stay -Timeshare owners stay longer in Hawaii than the typical
visitor, averaging about 11.6 days versus 9.0 days for the average visitor as shown
in Exhibit D. Interestingly, an average of about 1.7 days are spent in other forms
of paid accommodation in addition to time spent in their timeshare unit resulting in
additional business for other visitor lodging facilities.
Mr. John K. Baldwin
Bridge Capital LLC
March 3. 2000
Page 6
¦ Big Island timeshare owners - In comparison to the rest of the state, Big Island
' timeshare owners have the most prior visits to Hawaii (3.4 visits vs. 2.8), relatively
high incomes ($82,000 vs. $76,000), high owner satisfaction levels (90% vs.
85%), and are generally from the Pacific Northwest (Washington and Oregon) or
kamaaina purchases.
IMPACT OF THE TIMESHARE INDUSTRY
. _ Timesharing generates significant economic benefits and other impacts to the area in
which they are located. These benefits are summarized in the following section:
¦ Increased Loyalty to Destination -One of the most important economic aspects
of timesharing is that it generates more loyal visitors to the islands and creates a
greater incentive to "lock-in" future visits to Hawaii.
The propensity of timeshare owners to return to Hawaii on vacation is reported to
almost double after a timeshare purchase. Timeshare owners reported that
intended visits increased from only 1.7 visits during the five years prior to
timeshare ownership, to 3.0 intended visits over the next five-year period,
according to the survey of owners conducted by KPMG. Coupled with a longer
1 average length of stay and larger average party size, future visitor expenditures in
~ Hawaii are estimated to increase by about ] 00%, as compared to regular visitors in
Hawaii.
¦ Timeshare Consumer Expenditures -Hawaii timeshare visitors were estimated
to generate about $122 per person per day (including an allowance for equvalent
pre-paid lodging costs) on timeshare stays in 1997, as shown in Exhibit E. In
comparison, all visitors to Hawaii are reported to have spent an average of $148
per day during the same year. While on a per person basis this may appear lower,
due to the nearly double average party size, average expenditures per developed
unit is actually significantly for timeshare units versus other types of
accommodation.
¦ Satisfaction with Timeshare -The satisfaction level of Hawaii's timeshare
owners is extremely high and increasing. as reported by the survey of Hawaii
timeshare owners. Over 85% of the survey respondents indicated that they were
satisfied with their purchase, an increase of nearly eight percentage points
between 1992 and 1996. In general, owners are satisfied with the "hospitality"
aspects of timeshare ownership including the following aspects associated with
being timeshare owners versus hotel visitors:
Mr. John K. Baldwin
Bridge Capital LLC
March 3.2000
Page 7
- Services and activities in the area near the resort
- Cleanliness and upkeep of the units
- Construction quality
- Hospitality shown by the staff
- Amenities and facilities at the resort
Management responsiveness
¦ Higher Timeshare Occupancy Rates -Timeshare resorts typically experience
very high occupancy rates compared to other visitor accommodations. Timeshare
owners will rarely allow their intervals to go unused as they are used personally,
given to friends or relatives, or traded in exchange for other locations. Thus, the
timeshare industry as a whole and especially in Hawaii, is seldom affected by
seasonality, unlike the Hawaii visitor industry.
- Statewide, the latest available information for surveyed Hawaii timeshare
plans reported an average occupancy rate of 87%, as shown below:
Comparison of Occupancy Rates
1995
~ : Timeshare accommodations 87%
All visitor accommodations 77%
Difference 10%
- Compared to other visitor accommodations, timeshaze occupancies
exceeded the statewide average of 77% in 1995 by a sizable 10 percentage
points.
¦ Timeshare Owner Travel and Traffic Patterns -Timeshare owners stay longer
and take better care of their accommodations than hotel guests. According to the
Urban Land Institute book entitled "Developing Timeshare and Vacation-
Ownership Properties", 1999, timeshare travelers travel more in family groups,
and typically have numerous amenities and activities on-site including owner's
receptions, guest and children's programs, and other shared activities. As a result,
timeshare owners spend more time in their units than hotel guests or whole-owned
condominium owners.
Mr..lohn K. Baldwin
Bridge Capital LLC
March 3, 2000
Page 8
Because they travel in larger groups and spend more time in their units, timeshaze
owners generally travel in fewer cars less often than others. While there are no
specific traffic studies of timeshare projects, these factors would tend to suggest
that traffic from timeshare projects would be no higher than, and could be
significantly lower than that created by hotel guests or whole-unit second home
owners. It should also be noted that timeshare owners do not commute to and from
work during peak traffic hours, as do many whole-unit condominium owners.
The only occurrence of any type of convergence of timeshare owners is for
checking-in. Typically, check-in may beheld once or twice a week. However,
r- these times occur gradually throughout the day and typically do not coincide with
peak traffic hours. Most timeshare properties are not located in an urban center,
j and are usually located in areas of low vehicular traffic.
i
¦ Effects on Local Beach Access -There is no data available that would indicate
that timeshaze visitors would have any greater affect on beach access than regulaz
visitors or owners of whole-unit residences condominiums. Because timeshare
owners spend more time in their units than hotel guests spend in their rooms, it is
possible that they could spend less time at the beach than hotel guests.
¦ Public School Usage -Because timeshare units are typically only occupied for
weekly intervals each year, timeshare owners typically require no use of public
schools.
¦ Increased State Government Revenues -The fiscal impacts of timesharing to the
State of Hawaii government comes from many sources, including general excise
taxes on goods and services; personal income taxes paid by those employed by the
timeshare industry; transient accommodations taxes on hotel use (TAT); and tax
collections for special taxes such as fuel, vehicle, public safety, and the like. A
detailed fiscal impact analysis was not included as it is beyond the scope of this
stud}'.
¦ Employment Impacts -The timeshare industry employs many people within the
State of Hawaii in various positions to support the guest and owner operations and
sales and marketing of timeshare projects.
- Operational and maintenance employment -Based on the survey of
timeshare resorts, operational and maintenance employment is supported
- by the maintenance fees paid by unit owners and employs an average of
0.55 full-time equivalent (FTE) positions for every timeshare unit. Put in
Mr. John K. Baldwin
Bridge Capital LLC
March 3, 2000
Page 9
perspective, this is equivalent to about 55 full-time employees being
employed at a 100-unit timeshare resort.
- Sales and marketing employment -Sales and marketing staffing
generates an additional 0.69 FTE employees per unsold timeshare unit.
- In total, timeshare units generate an average 1.24 FTE positions per unit,
as shown in the following table:
Jobs per
timeshare unit
Operational employment per Unit 0.55
Sales and marketing employment per unsold unit 0.69
Total jobs per unit 1.24
