The hotel at Bear Mountain Resort has changed hands.
Under the direction of Dan Matthews, Ecoasis Resort and Golf LLP will retain ownership and responsibility of the resort’s golf and tennis operations and all developable lands, while local entrepreneur and businessman Raoul Malak will assume ownership and responsibility for hotel operations related to accommodations and food and beverage services.
The working alliance between Ecoasis Resort and Golf LLP and Malak was announced today July 13 by Bear Mountain Resort.
Ecoasis says it spent the last five years working diligently to reposition Bear Mountain to become one of the finest residential communities in Canada. “We are now at a stage in our business and growth strategy whereby we are actively entering into relationships with like-minded companies and individuals that have the passion and expertise in specific disciplines that make up a multi-faceted resort like Bear Mountain,” said Matthews in a news bulletin.
“Ecoasis is pleased for the opportunity to work together to support Mr. Malak’s vision for the Westin Bear Mountain. Mr. Malak’s experience in the hotel industry will provide the direction required to elevate the overall customer service and experience. This is great news for our community and the region,” said Matthews.
“My partner Tom Kusumoto and I take care in establishing business relationships such as this one with Mr. Malak,” says Matthews. “His business accomplishments, passion for the hotel business and connection to the local community were all factors considered. It’s with pleasure that we formally welcome Mr. Malak to the Bear Mountain Community.”
Matthews said the Westin Bear Mountain Golf Resort & Spa will continue to build on its reputation as a world-class resort.
Bear Mountain Resort has built a profile of hosting a wide range of community events particularly sporting events with an eye to playing a key regional role in sports tourism.
