If your group is seeking the utmost in privacy or exclusivity for an upcoming meeting, or if you wish to accentuate the branding of your program to meet your objectives, you may be interested in the abundant “Buyout Solutions” opportunities that are now being offered by Associated Luxury Hotels International (ALHI) and its members. ALHI has identified hotel and resort options in its impressive Four- and Five-Diamond quality portfolio which are available for a buyout. Based on your criteria, and to fit your needs, this can mean buyout opportunities for the entire hotel or resort, or a buyout of a specific wing or section of the property for your program and attendees. The full buyout provides to the group complete usage of a location’s meeting facilities, guest rooms, banquet facilities, and even recreational offerings, plus provides far more unique signage and branding opportunities.
“Businesses are looking for the edge, and for unique business opportunities, and including a strategic buyout can be great for groups for many reasons,” said David Gabri, president and CEO of ALHI, which represents more than 130 Four- and Five-Diamond quality hotels and resorts worldwide to the meetings and incentive marketplace in North America. “This includes the need for privacy for something like a new product discussion, merger, and strategic planning. A buyout is also great for building camaraderie among attendees, customers, and for different business units that are merging efforts and when new management structures are unveiled. It is also perfect for groups that want an elevated and undivided level of personal service on their program.”
