• You are helping national economy when generating taxes, employment and strengthen other branches of the touristic industry.
• The average days that you vacation increases.
• The big difference in cost between high season and low season is reduced.
Cons:
• There are people who use fraudulent advertising.
• Many developers use aggressive techniques of sales
• There’s a general lack of information about what are and what these services aren’t.
