The trips are offered from Welk Timeshare if you opt out from purchasing one. You get to chose from multiple packages, albeit your stay is only 3 days, I considered they were giving you an opportunity to check out their property on the island to reconsider a possible investment. If you check through the BBB, there multiple complaints...too many to count, where you send in your deposit for taxes on the tickets to HTOA as requested from HTOA and the paperwork they have mailed to you, and provide 2 alternate dates of travel for them to accommodate you over the course of 12 months. They never seem to accommodate, and pretty much ALMOST never have returned anyone's deposits either. I was a bit disappointed to find out it was a scam and that they are not getting into trouble for it. So much for honest practices. Although I am reminded if it sounds too good to be true...it probably is.
