Phuket party time for Outrigger
The Outrigger Laguna Phuket Beach Resort in Thailand officially opens April 4, with a VIP party gathering, which will include members of the Kelley family, the resort owners, and senior corporate executives from Hawaii.
Outrigger announced its purchase of the 8.36 hectare property on Bang Tao beach, Laguna Phuket, in July last year.
The opening means that Outrigger, a privately held Hawaii based company with more than 65 years of hotel management experience, now has four properties open in Asia: Outrigger Laguna Phuket Beach Resort, the Outrigger Laguna Phuket Resort and Villas, the Outrigger Phi Phi Island Beach Resort, and O-CE-N Bali by Outrigger.
Outrigger Enterprises Group president and CEO, David Carey, in Phuket to attend the opening, said: "Early indications are that our new property will do very well in the family, couples and active lifestyle segment of the global holiday market."
