Buzz Building for Italian Village Grand Opening

Something really exciting is happening at Beaches Turks and Caicos! And we want to make sure that the whole world knows about it. I’m talking, of course, about our eagerly anticipated Grand Opening Celebration for the amazing Italian Village, which is just around the corner, on May 14th to May 17th. We’re planning a whole slew of incredible events for media and celebrities—and we wanted to get the word out.  That’s why I was in Turks this week. To begin with, I had a great time hosting almost 200 travel agents, flown in on a chartered plane from Chicago, as part of our first Mega-FAMiliarization trip of the year, one of several to come. It was great to introduce them to all of the impressive features that make the Italian Village and Beaches Turks and Caicos stand out as the #1 Luxury Included Resort with anything and everything for everyone in the Caribbean. There are many more FAMS planned for 2009, which will give all of you the chance to come and take a look at what all of the buzz is about!

I also had a blast showing off the resort to members of the media, who were here as part of a Worldwide Press Junket. My dad and I had dinner with them and I even tried my hand (or voice) at giving some radio interviews!  The energy and enthusiasm about what we’ve created here at Beaches Turks and Caicos with the brand new, state-of-the-art Italian Village and Pirates Island Waterpark is really off the charts and is only going to grow and grow, until we officially unveil this unbelievable addition to an already phenomenal property. The Italian Village represents a whole new level in family vacationing and I can’t wait until the whole world (and especially you) can see it up close and personal!

We made sure that our valued mega-fam-trip attendees had a really good time—from morning until late at night! Here I am with Andre Wade, Director of Industry Relations, Dwight Johnson, Director of Marketing, plus the girls from Beach Bum Vacations. I think the smiles say it all.

And here’s the Unique Vacations marketing, promotions and publicity gang down from Miami to support our PR push for the upcoming opening. It sure seems like everyone’s having a pretty good time at Club Liquid!

                                                                                                                                                            I look very focused, as I chat about the resort with two members of the team from CJMX EZ Rock 103.5 Fm, a radio station in Sudbury, Canada.

                                                                                         I’m trying on my headsets for size and getting the hang of this broadcasting thing, as I get ready to go on the air with WISX-FM My 106.1 FM in Philadelphia—spreading the news can be so much fun!

Listeners in North Bay, Canada were able to get a lot of info about the spectacular happenings and amenities at the Italian Village, when they tuned in to my interview with local station, CHUR-FM EZ Rock 100.5.

Wow, what a backdrop! Here I am filling in the Philadelphia audience of radio station, WISX-FM My 106.1 FM, as the sun shines and the pool sparkles behind me at the Italian Village. Sometimes words really can’t tell the tale and you’ve just got to see it with your own eyes!
