What is I.D.W.A.T.?
Well it stands for I DON'T WANT A TIMESHARE! and is dedicated to
all us long suffering tourists who are completely hacked off with those over friendly people you meet on holiday. You know
the ones. They hang about outside your hotel or by the steps down to the beach and are otherwise known asTimeshare Touts.
They are the ones who are trained to spot the pale faces that have just arrived and don't know their way around yet.
They carry handfuls of scratchcards and are genuinely excited when you pick a winner. Of course they are excited, they have
just had a vision of a commission! They offer you free taxi service to pick up your prize and "Oh by the way, we'd like to
invite you to a presentation". "Of course it's not a Timeshare!!" "You have got your credit card with you haven't you?" "Just
for ID purposes you understand"
So this site is for you to pass on your hints and tips on how to avoid them. Where are the worst spots? Where are the
best spots? and for your stories of your encounters with the dreaded Timeshare touts.
If the idea takes off, who knows? we may even start a club, produce T Shirts etc. You can send all your stories/contributions
to me at the link below.
