In her new position, she will lead a public relations team of three, oversee local media and marketing initiatives, as well as steer all international public relations efforts.
Ms. Beltran brings more than 16 years of progressive public relations experience to her position.

In 2006, she joined the Fairmont Newport Beach to manage the public relations efforts for the launch of the company's first venture into Orange County.
Ricco De Blank shares, "Linda is an enthusiastic addition to our staff with a solid public relations background. I am certain that she will be instrumental in building a strong, cohesive public relations team that will continue to maintain a solid domestic media presence, and dramatically raise the hotel's profile on an international scale."
Ms. Beltran, a native of Hollister, California, is a member of the Society of American Travel Writers (SATW) and the Public Relations Society of America (PRSA).
