Red Sail Sports Celebrates 20 Years of Excellence! |
|
Red Sail Sports is proud to announce its 20th
anniversary as one of the world?s leading resort
watersports operators. In 1987, Red Sail Sports
Grand Cayman opened its doors for business. To
celebrate, Red Sail Sports Grand Cayman will host a
year of promotions, giveaways and special dive
packages.
The Past: Red Sail Sports Grand Cayman
started with two dive boats, some beach toys and
about 20 enthusiastic staff members. ?Over the next
20 years, we built a reputation as one of the world's
leading resort watersports operators,? says Cayman
Operations Manager, Rod McDowall. ?Our philosophy
has remained the same throughout the years: Give
the customer the highest quality service possible.?
The Present: Today, as Red Sail Sports
commemorates its 20th anniversary, our operations
now encompass seven full service dive shops and
watersports centers on Grand Cayman, two on the
Big Island of Hawaii, and two on Aruba. In addition,
Red Sail Sports manages an impressive range of
resort retail boutiques on each island, and offers
accommodations through hotel partners.
In the coming weeks, Red Sail Sports will also
announce a 20th Anniversary ?Celebrate With Red
Sail Sports Hotel/Dive Package? on Grand Cayman.
And watch for upcoming commemorative giveaways
to be promoted online, at trade shows, and in the
island?s retail shops for 10 lucky couples who can win
dive packages at Red Sail Sports Grand Cayman.
The Future: Using a custom-designed
program with the latest e-ticket technology for ease
of use, Red Sail Sports Cayman just launched a new
online reservations system. Individual customers will
be able to book their watersports activities in real
time, or call the toll-free number at 877-RED-SAIL to
make a reservation.
In addition, the seven
full- service Red Sail Sports dive and watersports
centers across Grand Cayman will be armed with
Tablet PCs to speed customers through the check-in
process for diving, snorkeling, sailing and other
activities, allow customers to sign waivers on the
PCs, and confirm their activity dates in a few
seconds. Hawaii and Aruba online booking systems
will be launched in mid-2007.
