JANUARY – MARCH 2020 VACATION INDUSTRY REVIEW
GROW YOUR TIMESHARE BUSINESS
WITH ORACLE FINANCIAL SERVICES
LENDING AND LEASING
While millennials are open to options and Airbnb did
not dominate the travel and tourism industry overnight,

amidst the growing influence of technology. Inability to
make sales to younger and new customers, technology driven
options presented by disruptors, and legal complexities are
making it tough for timeshare businesses to keep up.

can manage the entire vacation ownership lifecycle while
increasing sales and improving end user experience.
