of the developer as the resort’s property management company. Additionally,
the on-site rental and guest services office will be professionally managed
and staffed by GCI employees for owners desiring to participate in their
program. GCI has an impressive record of success with the development and
management of numerous resort properties and over 300 individually owned
condo units throughout the U.S. and beyond.
GCI
will be utilizing internet-marketing distribution channels for the promotion
of its onsite rental inventory. There will be a new marketing focus on
weddings and special events.
Selected
as General Manager of the Beso Del Sol Resort (www.besodelsolresort.com)
is Lou Anne Karlin, a veteran of more than five years in the hospitality
arena. Karlin previously handled sales, marketing and special events planning
for a large international non-profit organization. Utilizing her expertise
in this highly specialized field, GCI plans to transform the Beso Del Sol
Resort into a popular destination location for special gatherings.
