Vacation Ownership and Timeshare Outsourcing Trends in 2026: Beyond Tour Generation

The central vacation ownership and timeshare outsourcing question for 2026 is how far vendor capability extends beyond tour generation into the owner lifecycle. The strategic direction is broader servicing capability alongside acquisition capacity-not a wholesale replacement of it. ARDA’s 2026 executive summary characterizes timeshare sales volume as stable, which argues against treating this shift as the disappearance of acquisition work.

This analysis examines owner servicing, payment administration and owner benefits, alongside AI-assisted operations, outbound-contact compliance, delivery geography and provider capabilities. The operator implication is to distinguish a partner’s ability to generate demand from its ability to manage ongoing owner relationships. Human authority over hardship and complaints, payment security and controlled systems access belong in that assessment.

At BPO Insight Hub, we publish independent editorial research and analysis; we do not sell outsourcing services. Throughout, we distinguish documented developments and provider offerings from our strategic interpretations. The evidence supports specific examples and directions for vendor strategy-not a measured industry-wide outsourcing growth rate or a claim that tour generation is going away.

What Is Vacation Ownership and Timeshare Outsourcing Beyond Tour Generation?

At BPO Insight Hub, we use independent research and analysis to distinguish provider capabilities and operating models; we do not deliver outsourcing services. Here, BPO means business process outsourcing. For vacation ownership developers and operators, the relevant distinction is between acquisition work-selling vacation packages, activating owners and setting appointments-and ongoing responsibilities for serving owners and administering their accounts.

The acquisition side has a concrete illustration in Hugo’s sales-outsourcing page, which identifies vacation ownership developers as a target market and describes Gold Mountain’s onshore U.S. vacation-package sales, owner activation and appointment-setting operations. In BPO Insight Hub’s analysis, that is evidence of a defined sales scope, not evidence of nearshore owner servicing, maintenance-fee billing expertise or a relationship with any particular vacation ownership operator.

Owner-lifecycle outsourcing covers a different set of responsibilities. ResortCom publicly offers reservations, member services, maintenance-fee billing, loan servicing and payment processing. BPO Insight Hub treats these as evidence of an established servicing category, not a model invented in 2026. ResortCom and Hugo’s Gold Mountain operations therefore illustrate different scopes rather than interchangeable providers: one example documents ongoing owner and account support, while the other documents acquisition-oriented sales activity.

Why Owner-Lifecycle Outsourcing Matters in 2026

Owner-lifecycle outsourcing deserves attention because servicing capability belongs alongside acquisition capability in vendor strategy-not because new-owner sales have collapsed. ARDA’s State of the Vacation Timeshare Industry, 2026 Edition, published June 23, 2026, reports calendar-year 2025 results, not 2026 operating performance. Its executive summary characterizes sales volume as stable since 2022. The case for broader servicing priorities should therefore complement tour generation, rather than assume it is disappearing.

Maintenance fees sharpen the owner-value question. ARDA reports average billed maintenance fees of $1,550 per weekly interval equivalent in 2025, up 4.7%. Those figures establish fee pressure; they do not measure complaints, arrears or demand for outsourcing. For an operator considering an external servicing partner, the relevant question is whether that partner can explain charges accurately and handle difficult value conversations-not simply process more contacts.

Travel + Leisure Co. provides a concrete illustration of owner-value priorities. Its 2025 Form 10-K, filed February 18, 2026, describes a resort portfolio review intended to align with owner preferences, preserve maintenance-fee affordability and mitigate future special assessments. That is evidence of an operator addressing ownership value, not a disclosed outsourcing decision. It makes fee communication and understanding of the ownership proposition relevant questions when evaluating servicing capability.

Demographics also require a more precise narrative than “owners are aging.” ARDA’s July 29, 2026 announcement reports that Millennials and Gen Z represent 58% of current owners and 76% of recent purchases. An aging-owner argument therefore needs portfolio-specific evidence. Operators should ask whether prospective partners can serve their actual owner mix, rather than choose a delivery model around an assumed industry-wide age profile.

The demographic evidence has limits: ARDA’s owners report, published July 22, 2026, used an online survey of more than 1,600 timeshare owners. It describes surveyed owners, not BPO buyers, and does not measure outsourcing adoption. Nor do the age figures alone establish preferred service channels; those remain questions for each operator’s owner data.

Our editorial reading at BPO Insight Hub is that these findings support a broader vendor-evaluation lens, not proof of an outsourcing boom. The strategic question is whether a partner can support owner value as credibly as acquisition volume. Maintenance-fee communication, portfolio understanding and responsiveness to the operator’s actual owner base deserve scrutiny alongside front-end capacity.

Common Timeshare Outsourcing Challenges and How Providers Can Address Them

Owner-lifecycle outsourcing makes technology dependencies, financial judgment and contact evidence central to vendor evaluation-not secondary considerations behind staffing capacity. At BPO Insight Hub, our editorial analysis separates capabilities worth evaluating from demonstrated delivery outcomes. These four problems show why an owner-service partner needs more than an available pool of agents.

Key Problems Encountered in Vacation Ownership Operations

• Fragmented owner systems. Travel + Leisure Co. identifies reliance on third-party technologies across reservations, payments, vacation exchange, member databases and call centers. That disclosure illustrates the dependencies an owner-service partner may inherit; it does not establish an outsourcing decision. The evaluation question is whether a provider can maintain account continuity across these systems rather than handle each interaction in isolation.
• Complex financial conversations. Vervent-sponsored commentary hosted by ARDA-not independent association research-describes servicing as a combination of owner experience, financial infrastructure and risk management. It advocates digital account access alongside trained people for complex questions and hardship situations. As routine enquiries move to self-service, the remaining human workload can become harder; lower contact volume alone is not a sound argument for lower-skilled staffing or tighter handle-time targets.
• Auditable outbound contact requirements. The FTC’s 2024 Telemarketing Sales Rule updates expanded recordkeeping requirements covering call details, consent evidence, Do Not Call compliance and service-provider information. Vendor economics therefore need to account for evidence and recordkeeping ownership, not just dialing productivity. FTC guidance also makes clear that an established business relationship does not override a seller-specific Do Not Call request; existing-owner or referral outreach is not a blanket exemption. Requirements vary by jurisdiction and change.
• Payment-data exposure. PCI Security Standards Council guidance states that card verification codes must not be retained after authorization, including in digital audio recordings. It recommends enabling available suppression or redaction technology. For payment-taking owner-service teams, recording practices therefore belong in vendor evaluation-not behind an unsupported assurance that the operation is compliant.

These are evaluation recommendations, not verified implementation outcomes: assess cross-system continuity for fragmented records; trained human judgment and escalation capability for sensitive financial conversations; retrievable contact evidence, suppression controls and explicit recordkeeping ownership for outbound work; and demonstrable recording suppression or redaction for payment handling. The supplied evidence does not establish which providers resolve these challenges most effectively.

What to Look for in a Vacation Ownership Outsourcing Partner in 2026

Owner-lifecycle outsourcing changes the vendor-selection question: acquisition credentials are not evidence of reservations, billing or owner-service competence. The relevant distinction is not simply whether a provider serves vacation ownership, but which responsibilities it can substantiate. For 2026 vendor strategy, operational evidence should carry more weight than a broad hospitality label.

Must-Have Capabilities for Owner-Lifecycle Outsourcing

• Function-specific experience. Separate sales credentials from servicing credentials. Hugo’s sales-outsourcing page describes Gold Mountain’s U.S. vacation-package sales, owner activation and appointment-setting work; that does not establish billing or nearshore owner-service expertise. ResortCom publicly offers reservations, member services, maintenance-fee billing, loan servicing and payment processing-evidence that outsourced lifecycle services are an established category, not a 2026 invention.
• Systems continuity. Access to reservations, exchange, payment and member systems is an eligibility issue, not a secondary technology feature. Travel + Leisure Co.’s filing identifies reliance on third-party technologies across these areas and call centers. A prospective partner’s integration demonstrations and contractual commitments matter more than an unsupported claim of seamless connectivity.
• Contact-evidence governance. FTC guidance requires covered telemarketing records to be retained for five years. It also states that sellers and telemarketers both bear recordkeeping responsibility absent a contract allocating those duties. Evidence ownership therefore belongs in the commercial assessment. Requirements vary by jurisdiction and change; a vendor’s assurance is not a substitute for legal review.
• Payment-data controls. PCI Security Standards Council guidance prohibits storing sensitive authentication data, including card verification codes, after authorization-even in digital audio recordings-and recommends available suppression or redaction technology. Payment-taking partners need demonstrable controls, rather than blanket compliance assurances.
• Human escalation authority. Assess trained judgment and clear decision rights for complex questions and hardship situations. Vervent-sponsored commentary published by ARDA advocates digital account access alongside trained people for these conversations. The implication is that deflecting routine contacts can leave harder human work; fewer contacts do not automatically justify lower-skilled staffing or tighter handle-time targets.
• Delivery-model fit. Evaluate communication quality and time-zone coverage directly. TTEC markets Mexico, Colombia and Brazil delivery around nearshore time zones, bilingual talent and cultural alignment. That verifies available supply and the provider’s proposition-not a measured timeshare migration away from offshore delivery. Geography alone establishes neither accent nor intelligibility.

At BPO Insight Hub, our editorial research categories-quality assurance, technology integration, geographic coverage, operating models and pricing flexibility-can structure this assessment. They are research lenses, not delivery capabilities or provider certifications. No named example establishes suitability across all six criteria; eligibility still depends on provider-specific demonstrations, commitments and control evidence.

Six Vacation Ownership Outsourcing Directions to Watch in 2026

Our analysis at BPO Insight Hub distinguishes documented service capabilities from evidence of market-wide change. These six directions inform vendor strategy, but their evidentiary strength differs: an operator-confirmed partnership, a provider’s stated capabilities and an editorial inference do not establish the same thing.

1. Owner-lifecycle specialization broadens the selection criteria. ResortCom publicly offers reservations, member services, maintenance-fee billing, loan servicing and payment processing. That scope demonstrates an outsourcing category extending well beyond generating tours. For operators considering lifecycle work, the strategic distinction is between a vendor equipped for acquisition activity and one with documented servicing capabilities. Evidence strength: established provider scope. This is not proof of a newly emerging category or a 2026 adoption surge; the defensible conclusion is that specialist alternatives already exist.
2. External owner-benefit partnerships offer a narrower route to owner engagement. Grand Pacific Resorts confirms its partnership with Arrivia to expand owners’ travel options and benefits. The mechanism is different from transferring a service desk: an external partner adds to the ownership proposition rather than necessarily taking over its administration. For vendor strategy, that separates benefit expansion from operational outsourcing. Evidence strength: operator-confirmed example. The announcement supports a specific partnership, not a claim that Grand Pacific outsourced all owner services or achieved a measured retention improvement.
3. AI-assisted operations make human escalation more consequential. Travel + Leisure Co.’s 2025 Form 10-K reports increasing AI use while acknowledging accuracy, reliability and investment risks. Separately, Vervent-sponsored ARDA commentary supports digital payments and account access alongside trained people for complex questions and hardship situations. The implication is a potentially harder residual human workload: fewer routine contacts should not automatically mean lower-skilled staffing or tighter handle-time targets. Evidence strength: primary filing plus sponsored industry commentary. Neither establishes a timeshare contact-deflection percentage or fully automated owner retention.
4. Nearshore delivery merits evaluation, not assumptions about superiority. TTEC markets delivery in Mexico, Colombia and Brazil around time-zone proximity, bilingual talent and cultural alignment. Those capabilities make nearshore locations relevant to owner-facing voice evaluations where coverage and communication matter. The strategic question is whether a proposed delivery team meets the operator’s requirements, not whether its regional label sounds preferable. Evidence strength: provider-stated supply proposition. This does not demonstrate timeshare work moving away from offshore locations, and geography alone establishes neither accent neutrality nor intelligibility.
5. Blended models can separate retained sales from external servicing. The availability of specialist servicing and owner-benefit partners makes it plausible for an operator to retain sales while delegating defined owner-service responsibilities. The rationale is selective access to external capabilities without treating the entire owner relationship as one outsourcing decision. For vendor strategy, this creates room for distinct acquisition and servicing mandates. Evidence strength: editorial inference from documented capabilities. The reviewed sources do not establish that this arrangement is dominant, fastest-growing or associated with superior outcomes.
6. Acquisitions can broaden a provider’s capabilities without proving lifecycle depth. Hugo’s January 11, 2026 announcement confirms its acquisition of Gold Mountain Communications, describing onshore contact-center expertise combined with broader CX, AI and back-office capabilities. Its documented vacation-ownership scope includes U.S. vacation-package sales, owner activation and appointment setting. Evidence strength: provider announcement and service description. This supports a concrete example of capability expansion-not billing expertise, named operator relationships or nearshore owner servicing. One transaction establishes neither a sector-wide consolidation wave nor its closing date.

The useful comparison is therefore between documented service scopes, not provider rankings. ResortCom’s servicing breadth, Arrivia’s owner-benefit partnership and Hugo’s stated sales capabilities address different needs. In the next planning cycle, operators should distinguish lifecycle specialization from sales specialization, assess nearshore propositions on demonstrated delivery capability, and treat AI or acquisition claims as reasons for closer evaluation-not substitutes for evidence of the required service.

Best Practices for Timeshare Outsourcing Governance in 2026

As outsourcing extends into owner servicing, governance becomes a vendor-eligibility question rather than a downstream contract detail. At BPO Insight Hub, our editorial recommendations below translate regulator guidance, payment-security requirements and servicing commentary into questions for vendor decisions-not proprietary methods or compliance certification. The strategic distinction is between buying acquisition capacity and entrusting a partner with owner relationships. Legal review must establish which requirements apply to each campaign, technology and jurisdiction.

1. Allocate ownership of contact records. Who retains the evidence, who can retrieve it, and who remains responsible when the engagement ends? FTC guidance requires covered telemarketing records to be retained for five years. Without a contract allocating recordkeeping responsibilities, both sellers and telemarketers bear responsibility. Vendor contracts should therefore specify retention, access and responsibility; an assurance that records exist is not equivalent to an agreed right and ability to retrieve them.
2. Preserve suppression controls. Can the partner demonstrate that seller-specific Do Not Call requests remain effective across the contact activity it manages? FTC guidance says an established business relationship does not override such a request. Existing-owner status, an owner referral or a warmer lead should therefore not be treated as permission to bypass suppression. The vendor-strategy implication is that referral capability must be evaluated alongside contact controls, not as a substitute for them.
3. Review jurisdiction and rule scope. Does legal review cover both the recipient’s jurisdiction and the contact technology? Florida’s published 2025 statute expressly includes timeshare estates and calls from other states or nations to Florida consumers. Separately, the FCC’s January 6, 2026 order delayed until January 31, 2027 only the requirement to apply revocation responding to one type of informational message to unrelated future robocalls and robotexts from the same caller. It did not suspend all revocation obligations. Neither offshore delivery nor that narrow delay supports a blanket exemption.
4. Verify payment-recording controls. What evidence shows that payment-taking workflows prevent card verification codes from being retained after authorization, including in audio recordings? PCI Security Standards Council guidance prohibits that storage and recommends available suppression or redaction technology. For owner-service vendors handling payments, demonstrable controls should be an eligibility gate. A blanket statement of compliance does not answer the narrower question of what the recording workflow actually retains.
5. Preserve human authority. Who can accept an escalation involving hardship, a complaint or a judgment-dependent decision? The Vervent-sponsored ARDA servicing article supports digital account access alongside trained people for complex questions and hardship situations. Our recommendation is to preserve explicit human escalation routes and decision ownership. Expanding a partner’s owner-service remit should not leave either the owner or the agent without access to someone authorized to resolve exceptions.
6. Reassess workload and continuity. Does the proposed staffing model reflect the complexity left after routine self-service? Fewer straightforward contacts can leave harder human conversations; that is an analytical implication, not a measured handle-time forecast. Do not automatically tighten handle-time targets or lower skill requirements. Continuity also matters: Travel + Leisure Co. identifies third-party technology dependencies across reservations, payments, exchange, member databases and call centers. Systems access and data continuity belong in vendor eligibility decisions, not just capacity discussions.

Potential Benefits of Looking Beyond Timeshare Tour Generation

The potential benefit of looking beyond tour generation is access to capabilities that support owners throughout their relationship with an operator-not a guaranteed financial return. At BPO Insight Hub, we distinguish documented service offerings from demonstrated outcomes; we are an independent editorial review platform, not an outsourcing provider. The sources below establish available capabilities and partnership options, but do not quantify ROI, savings, retention uplift or service improvements from these arrangements.

Access to specialist servicing. ResortCom publicly offers reservations, member services, maintenance-fee billing, loan servicing and payment processing. That scope gives operators an established specialist category to consider beyond acquisition support. The strategic opportunity is access to defined servicing capabilities rather than an assumption that any provider can handle the entire owner relationship. These offerings also show that owner-lifecycle outsourcing predates 2026; it is not a newly created category.

Broader owner benefits. Grand Pacific Resorts confirms that its Arrivia partnership expands owners’ travel options and benefits. This illustrates how an external partnership can broaden the value available to existing owners without transferring the whole owner-services operation. The evidence supports a broader offering-not a claim that the partnership increased retention or changed owner behaviour.

Digital access with human support. A Vervent-sponsored ARDA article advocates digital payments and account access alongside trained people for complex questions, hardship situations and judgment-dependent decisions. The potential benefit is complementarity: routine access need not replace human assistance. If simpler contacts move to self-service, the remaining workload may become harder, making contact reduction an insufficient basis for assuming that less-skilled staffing will suffice.

More deliberate sales-and-service allocation. The availability of specialist servicing and owner-benefit partners makes retaining sales while delegating selected owner-service responsibilities a plausible strategic option. It allows the outsourcing decision to concern defined responsibilities rather than an all-or-nothing transfer. This is an editorial inference from available capabilities, not evidence that blended arrangements are the dominant or fastest-growing model. Operator-level baselines and verified outcomes would be needed to establish their economic or service advantage.

How BPO Insight Hub Helps Readers Evaluate Timeshare Outsourcing

At BPO Insight Hub, we publish independent editorial research and analysis; we do not sell outsourcing services. Our role is to help readers examine provider capabilities, cost structures and operating models-not to supply outsourced teams, manage delivery or certify customer outcomes.

BPO Insight Hub’s research categories include provider quality assurance, technology integration, geographic coverage and pricing flexibility. Readers can use those categories to interrogate the distinction between sales specialisation and owner-lifecycle capability: does the evidence concern generating revenue, or resolving service needs? Does a provider’s stated geographic reach or technology offering actually address the work under consideration? These are evaluation questions, not evidence that a particular provider is qualified.

BPO Insight Hub’s adjacent travel and hospitality coverage provides context for separating revenue-generating work from service resolution, including discussion of vacation ownership. That coverage is an editorial starting point-not independent proof of provider performance, industry adoption or suitability for an operator’s owner-service requirements.

Key Takeaways and Next Steps for Vacation Ownership Outsourcing

The 2026 vendor decision is not a choice between acquisition and owner service. ARDA’s executive summary describes timeshare sales volume as stable since 2022-not an acquisition collapse. Broader servicing priorities therefore do not mean tour generation is disappearing. They mean owner-relationship capability deserves evaluation alongside acquisition capacity.

Treat the next twelve months as a planning horizon, not a forecast of proven adoption. Before expanding a vendor’s remit, review the boundary between sales and service, data access, contact governance and payment controls. Make evidence supporting permissible contact, payment security and systems continuity eligibility gates rather than optional differentiators. Preserve human authority for hardship situations and complaints. These are strategic recommendations, not reported industry adoption findings.

Keep documented market context, provider claims and editorial inference separate when revising requirements. Use BPO Insight Hub’s independent research on providers, operating models and technology integration to pressure-test your shortlist and clarify what evidence each bidder must supply. We are an editorial review platform, not an outsourcing supplier.

FAQs About Vacation Ownership and Timeshare Outsourcing in 2026

What is vacation ownership and timeshare outsourcing?

Vacation ownership and timeshare outsourcing means assigning defined acquisition or owner-service work to an external provider. The documented scope extends beyond generating sales appointments: ResortCom offers reservations, member services, maintenance-fee billing, loan servicing and payment processing. On the acquisition side, Hugo describes Gold Mountain’s vacation-package sales, owner activation and appointment-setting capabilities. At BPO Insight Hub, we distinguish these functions because evidence of sales expertise does not establish servicing expertise. We are an independent editorial review platform, not an outsourcing provider; these examples describe available services, not a recommended universal operating model.

Why do vacation ownership operators need capabilities beyond tour generation?

Generating tours does not address the continuing service obligations illustrated by outsourced reservations, billing and loan servicing. Fee pressure adds context: ARDA’s 2026 industry executive summary reports an average billed maintenance fee of $1,550 per weekly interval equivalent in 2025, up 4.7% that year. Those are 2025 operating results, not 2026 results. BPO Insight Hub’s implication is that owner-service capability deserves consideration alongside acquisition capacity. The figures do not, however, demonstrate increased complaints, arrears or outsourcing demand; linking those outcomes to fees would require additional evidence.

Which vacation ownership outsourcing providers should operators evaluate?

Provider options depend on the work under consideration, not an overall ranking. ResortCom publicly offers owner-lifecycle capabilities including reservations, member services, billing, loan servicing and payment processing. Hugo’s sales-outsourcing page describes Gold Mountain’s onshore U.S. vacation-package sales, owner activation and appointment setting for the vacation ownership market. BPO Insight Hub treats these as distinct examples, not interchangeable endorsements. They are provider descriptions, not independent comparative performance research. Neither description establishes a best provider, and Hugo’s documented sales scope should not be presented as evidence of billing expertise or nearshore owner servicing.

What is changing in vacation ownership and timeshare outsourcing in 2026?

The defensible picture combines established owner servicing, a documented acquisition and strategic options-not a measured industry-wide migration. Hugo’s January 11, 2026 announcement confirms its acquisition of Gold Mountain Communications, describing onshore contact-center expertise alongside broader CX, AI and back-office capabilities. ResortCom’s servicing offering demonstrates that lifecycle outsourcing is already available, not newly invented in 2026. BPO Insight Hub’s analytical implication is that operators can consider a broader capability mix beyond tour generation. One acquisition does not establish a consolidation wave, and these sources do not quantify adoption across the sector.

Does current research show that the timeshare owner base is aging?

Not as an unqualified industry-wide conclusion. ARDA’s July 29, 2026 research announcement says Millennials and Gen Z account for 58% of current timeshare owners and 76% of recent purchases. Those findings contradict a blanket portrayal of ownership as an aging demographic. At BPO Insight Hub, we therefore treat aging-owner needs as a portfolio-specific hypothesis requiring evidence, rather than a universal explanation for outsourcing decisions. The strategic implication is that service-channel and staffing assumptions should reflect an operator’s actual owners, not an industry stereotype. ARDA’s figures are association-reported research, not provider marketing.

Are owner referrals exempt from Do Not Call requirements?

No blanket exemption should be assumed because a prospect is referred or an owner already has a relationship with the seller. FTC guidance states that an established business relationship does not override a consumer’s seller-specific Do Not Call request. BPO Insight Hub’s editorial implication is that warm-lead and referral models do not eliminate the need to account for applicable consent and suppression requirements. A warmer relationship is not permission to disregard an opt-out. This is not legal advice: requirements vary by jurisdiction and change, so the applicable rules need qualified review.

Is nearshore delivery replacing offshore timeshare outsourcing?

The supplied evidence does not establish that replacement is happening. TTEC markets delivery in Mexico, Colombia and Brazil around nearshore time zones, bilingual talent and cultural alignment. That documents available supply and the provider’s stated value proposition-not measured movement of timeshare work away from offshore locations. BPO Insight Hub’s implication is that nearshore delivery is a credible option to evaluate for owner-facing work, rather than an inevitable destination. Geography alone does not establish an agent’s accent or intelligibility, and the reviewed sources provide no timeshare-specific displacement rate or comparative performance result.

Which owner interactions need human judgment after automation?

Complex questions, hardship situations and judgment-dependent decisions remain clear candidates for human support. A Vervent-sponsored article published by ARDA advocates digital payments and account access alongside trained people for these situations. BPO Insight Hub treats that article as sponsored industry commentary, not independent research demonstrating automation outcomes. Our analytical implication is that deflecting routine contacts can leave people handling a more difficult residual workload. That does not establish a measured increase in handle time, but it challenges the assumption that fewer contacts automatically justify lower-skilled staffing or tighter handling targets.

Can operators retain sales while outsourcing selected owner services?

Yes-as a plausible strategic arrangement, not a demonstrated dominant model. ResortCom’s published reservations, member-services, billing and loan-servicing capabilities show that specialist owner-service support is available separately from a sales-focused proposition. BPO Insight Hub’s inference is that an operator could retain sales while delegating defined service responsibilities, rather than placing the entire lifecycle with one partner. The reviewed evidence does not establish how frequently operators choose this arrangement or whether it is the fastest-growing model. Its relevance is the option to separate acquisition decisions from owner-servicing decisions, not a guaranteed operational outcome.
