Dream Catcher Retreats Enters Destination Club Scene
Date: April 4, 2005
New Club Offers $3 Million Vacation Homes and Unparalleled Service
The latest trend in luxury travel, destination clubs are fast emerging as the preferred method of vacationing for affluent travelers. Destination club sales exceeded $450 million in 2004, according to resort industry market specialist Ragatz Associates. Dream Catcher, the newest addition to this fast growing category, leads among destination clubs in membership value and provides an extraordinary level of personalized service that differentiates their member services from others in the category.
Spectacular Homes, Alluring Locations, and Exclusive Facilities With a special introductory membership offer of $275,000, and annual fees starting at $17,000, individuals can gain access to Dream Catcher and its portfolio of $3-million-plus vacation homes. Currently offering 12 luxury properties in leading travel destinations including Beaver Creek, CO; Napa Valley, CA; and Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, Dream Catcher is expanding its roster to include homes in such prime areas as Barbados, London, Paris and Tuscany.
“For the price of owning a single vacation home, individuals can enjoy multiple homes in multiple destinations without worrying about the hassles associated with owning a vacation home,” said Scott Anderson, CEO Dream Catcher. “We present our members with unique and magnificent vacation homes around the world, plus services equivalent to what they would find at a five-star hotel.”
Privileges of membership go beyond lavish abodes. Whether one is looking for a relaxing beach retreat, the ideal golf getaway, or a long weekend in wine country, Dream Catcher can accommodate a wide variety of experiential interests. Members are also afforded entry into exclusive neighboring resort facilities, including golf and spa, at each vacation home location.
Personal Reservation Assistants and Destination Hosts Do it All Dream Catcher distinguishes itself by providing members a highly personalized level of service. Each member is assigned their own Personal Reservation Assistant (PRA) and Destination Host to customize their vacation home stay. Focused on creating memorable vacation experiences for guests, the PRA helps members arrange every aspect of their vacation, making the planning process quick and effortless. Dedicated PRA’s can help with everything from securing hard-to-get golf tee times to sought after theatre tickets; stocking the refrigerator to making restaurant dinner reservations; and booking local tours or filling prescriptions.
Destination Hosts assist guests during their stay to continue to ensure guests’ travel plans go smoothly. Greeting members at the airport, hosts assist members from the moment of their arrival, starting with a complete tour of each home and an introduction to its amenities. Hosts are available 24 hours a day to manage the needs of each member, from assistance in arranging any last minute requests or changes to one’s itinerary.
Taking the hassle out of vacation home ownership and vacation planning all at once, Dream Catcher provides a truly remarkable and luxurious vacation experience. Dream Catcher will limit its membership to 400 to ensure its members continued highly personalized service.
