Exclusive Resorts, the world's leading luxury destination club, today announced that it has formed a partnership with tennis legend Andre Agassi. Together, Exclusive Resorts and Agassi Graf Development LLC announced plans to co-develop luxury resort real estate, design Agassi-Graf Tennis and Fitness Centers, and enhance the tennis and fitness experiences for Exclusive Resorts members as they travel the world.
"As I begin the next chapter of my life, I am looking for ways to pursue a career in business, specifically in real estate, and working with Exclusive Resorts is a great way for me to do that," Agassi said. "I am also excited about the opportunity to build a unique program for all ages, enhance the world-class vacation experiences that only Exclusive Resorts members receive, and ultimately create something that I know I will be proud of and my own family will enjoy for years to come."
The Agassi -- Exclusive Resorts partnership has four major components:
* Real Estate Development: Agassi-Graf Development plans to partner with
Exclusive Resorts to develop new resort communities where state-of-the-
art tennis and fitness facilities are central amenities. Exclusive
Resorts plans to develop homes in these new communities and make them
available to members as part of its award-winning offering.
* Agassi-Graf Tennis and Fitness Centers: At selected Exclusive Resorts
destinations, Agassi Graf Development and the Club plan to partner to
construct Agassi-Graf Tennis & Fitness Centers. These centers,
representing the highest-quality family fitness and tennis education
facilities, are being designed to enhance the vacation experience for
Exclusive Resorts members.
* Senior Advisor to Exclusive Resorts: Agassi will also become a senior
advisor to the company, helping it to develop its tennis and fitness
programs for members, while also consulting on destination selection
and facility design. Agassi will provide a newsletter for Exclusive
Resorts members about enhancing tennis and fitness activities for their
families.
* Special Event -- Poro Poro Grand Opening: Exclusive Resorts will use
the early 2007 grand opening of its flagship members-only Poro-Poro
resort in Peninsula Papagayo, Costa Rica, as a benefit for the Agassi
Foundation. Selected Foundation donors will have the opportunity to
meet and play tennis with Andre Agassi and Stefanie Graf at Poro Poro,
get tennis tips from them, and offer their support for the Foundation's
vital initiatives.
"Exclusive Resorts is built around creating vacation memories for our members that they will have for a lifetime," said Steve Case, chairman of Exclusive Resorts. "We believe that this multi-faceted partnership with Andre and Stefanie can change the vacation and resort real estate industries, and make the experience for Exclusive Resorts members even more valuable."
