Leading golf service aimed at global golf travelers; program developed in collaboration with PerryGolf
NEW YORK (March 8, 2010) – The Leading Hotels of the World, the largest international luxury hotel brand, announced an exclusive program aimed at global golf travelers who want to play the world’s finest courses while enjoying the highest levels of style, convenience and service.
Leading Golf is The Leading Hotels of the World’s premier travel planning and course booking service that ensures every detail of the guest’s golf experience.
“Our goal is to bring a new level of sophistication, service and expertise to golf travel that incorporates the opportunity to play exceptional golf courses and complements our guests’ lifestyles and personal interests,” said Claudia Kozma Kaplan, senior vice president of marketing and corporate communications, The Leading Hotels of the World.
The Leading Golf service includes three distinct elements – Signature Events, Custom Golf Touring and Golf Traveler Stay-and-Play packages – that can be enjoyed at Leading Hotels throughout the world.
Signature Events are designed as one-of-a-kind travel experiences aimed at the most adventurous and discerning travelers. Leading Golf will announce two Signature Events later this year.
Custom Golf Touring allows travelers to create their own distinctive tours built around golf, spas, fine dining and luxury accommodations in many of the world’s most desirable and exotic destinations.
For golfers who want the convenience of choosing from tours whose itineraries have been carefully planned for them, Golf Traveler Stay-and-Play packages are a relaxing and convenient way to go.
Ms. Kozma Kaplan said an example of the commitment to guest satisfaction afforded Leading Golf travelers is a service known as The Golf Butler. “The Golf Butler offers concierge-type services at any time throughout the world to assist guests with tee times and other arrangements that make their golf experience more memorable.”
The Leading Golf service was created in collaboration with PerryGolf, a U.S.- and Scotland-based award-winning luxury golf and lifestyle tour operator for more than 25 years. “We’re thrilled to work alongside Leading Hotels of the World to introduce the world’s most respected courses to the world’s most discriminating travelers,” said Gordon Dalgleish, PerryGolf co-founder and president.
The amenities and convenience of Leading Golf can be accessed at www.lhwgolf.com, where travelers can browse destinations and make online reservations at Leading Hotels of the World properties in North and South America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia/Pacific and the Caribbean.
