Prestige Resorts & Destinations

MINNEAPOLIS – Prestige Resorts & Destinations, Ltd., working with the public television series Biography, has released a video on how the luxury market has changed because of consumer demands. The film highlights Sundance Resort in Utah, one of the individual resorts Prestige represents. It will air on the Fox Business Network this weekend and will be hosted by Joan Lunden. Please check your local listings for times.

"We have seen the definition of luxury change over the last 10 years," said Blair McKeever, President & CEO of Prestige Resorts & Destinations. "The staples of luxury travel—fine dining, accommodations, services and amenities—have remained the same, but there has been a shift where it is more about the customer's experience combined with the destination. It's more about meeting the consumer's and/or meeting planner's expectations to make their dreams and desires become a reality. Each of the individual resorts we represent are unique and cater to those special needs of the upscale traveler by going beyond their expectations."

"We were very pleased to be included by Prestige as a part of this production," said Chad Linebaugh, General Manager of Sundance Resort. "It gives us an opportunity to highlight our special green getaway that blends the experience of a luxury resort with the environment. Besides our great spa, we offer many outdoor recreational activities to connect with nature as well as art and photography classes."

For more than 25 years, Prestige has connected the meeting planner with more than 50 four and five star properties it represents throughout the world. With the recent partnership formed with Prestige Hotels of the World by Keytel, a Spanish based company, Prestige tripled the number of resorts in its portfolio. Because of this new partnership, the company will be able to offer individual consumer reservations in the near future. This will be the first time Prestige will sell directly to the consumer.
