controversy into success and Kerzner set his sights on a broader international stage for his hospitality
ventures.

In 1993 Kerzner divested Sun International of its holdings in Africa and formed Sun International
Hotels in order to acquire the resort then known as Paradise Island Resort and Casino. Kerzner
renamed his new property Atlantis on Paradise Island. Having already demonstrated his ability to
marshal the resources needed to build and operate large-scale destination resorts, Kerzner envisioned
for Atlantis an environment that would immerse its customers in a mythical watery world,
surrounded by massive marine tanks and pools filled with sea creatures and accented by visual and
philosophical references to the lost continent. Indeed, visitors were housed in soaring towers that
were integrated with the simulated undersea world.

After opening in 1994 Kerzner almost immediately embarked on an $800 million expansion of the
resort, culminating in the completion of the Royal Towers in 1998 and its attraction-filled
environment, complete with marine life exhibition tanks, waterfalls, lagoons, water slides, multiple
swimming areas, gorgeous beaches, and the largest casino in the Caribbean. A third expansion phase,
involving an investment of some $1 billion, was recently brought to a close, further expanding
accommodations, attractions, and services. Following the expansion the property featured additional
upscale lodging and dining facilities with access restricted to adults unaccompanied by children,
joining a product set that included a spa, golf courses, a marina, interactions with live dolphins, a
massive convention meeting space, and more beach front. An official fact sheet, shown as Exhibit 1,
lists and describes the main components of the resort. Exhibit 2 provides a view of the Royal Towers.

Atlantis now catered to the needs and desires of a wide range of customers, from families with
young children, to hipsters and upscale professionals, to gamblers, to golfers to anyone who enjoyed
learning about marine life. As the largest non-governmental employer in the Bahamas, Atlantis
occupied a unique role in the country’s labor market and its tourism sector. Through its commitment
to employee development in a low-income, service-based economy, Atlantis took pride not only in
training raw recruits to become service professionals but also in contributing to the larger community
of the Bahamas through service projects and environmental stewardship.

Strategy in Focus

Vision, Mission and Strategy

Given Atlantis’s positioning and scale, constantly expanding and refreshing the product was a key
to its success. Markantonis explained:

We’re going to continue to expand. We’re going to continue to make sure this is the most
exciting place that there is. We have to come up with new thoughts, new ideas. We’ve got to
come out of this recession. But we don’t just expand. We have to be strategic. We have plenty
more land.

Atlantis competed in a global entertainment marketplace, and was positioned “as part Las Vegas
and part Disney,” but with the new additions its positioning was tweaked to cater to all generations
of customers. Markantonis characterized it as “the only place where you can bring your kids and
grandma and everyone is going to have a great time.” Atlantis Kids Adventure (AKA), a state-of-the-
art, youth-oriented high-tech entertainment facility for children from 3 to 12 years of age with a “no
adults allowed” rule, provided an apt example. Another was Cove Atlantis, an enclave that included
hip entertainment with a DJ, luxury cabanas, nightclubs and an adults-only pool (with
Mediterranean-style bathing) and bar facilities, and an outdoor poolside casino.

The new children’s facility played into another strategic goal of Atlantis, generating returning
customers. Markantonis asserted: “The children are the key to making people want to come back.”
Visiting Atlantis was a major commitment of time and money on the part of its typical customers, so
after experiencing everything Atlantis had to offer, they needed a compelling reason to return. That’s
where the never-ending expansion of products and services came into play, allowing the firm to
maintain an estimated 22% to 25% returning customer rate. Exhibit 3 shows the repeat business
record for a period spanning 2003 through 2008.

Although its commitments to expansion and renewal as well as community service reflected
Atlantis’s unique positioning in its market, Atlantis’s strategy was not entirely unconventional. Alex
Kim, general manager of the Coral and Beach Towers, said: “The four ‘pillars’ of Atlantis’s success
are revenue, controlling expenses to boost profits, employee satisfaction, and customer satisfaction.”
The latter involved a commitment to providing the guest with what chief operating officer Jean
Cohen called “the blow-away experience.” Kim expanded on this set, however, describing a recent
meeting with his team managers at which he asked them to articulate the Atlantis strategy:

I just asked the question: What is it that we have to do to be successful? I don’t tell them
how to be successful. They have to tell me. End result? Leadership, from top to bottom.
Leadership is not just the general manager’s leadership. Leadership goes all the way down to
the line employee. Room attendants—there are leaders there. So it has to flow up and down
the chain of command.

So the Atlantis strategy also focused on familiar touchstones in hospitality—revenue, profit,
employee engagement and guest satisfaction—with a focus on company-wide leadership, which was
perhaps understandable given the scale of the property.

IT Connection

The phenomenal growth that distinguished Atlantis Paradise Island’s storyline increasingly
depended on leveraging information technology and electronic media to raise the high-tech bar for
the customer experience. Chief information officer Bernard Gay talked about how Atlantis had
carved out “a space of innovation and creativity” that would help to drive future growth and
continual upgrading of existing facilities. To be sure, Atlantis’s IT organization—with a staff of
approximately 80 people divided between full-timers and contractors—channeled many of its
resources into running the property smoothly and efficiently and upgrading and integrating software
platforms, but the growth imperative provided it with opportunities to innovate and push the
customer experience. Nowhere was this opportunity more in evidence than in the aforementioned
kids’ club, where the high-tech installations created a feature-laden environment. The IT organization
would also play an important role in helping Atlantis to roll out and embed the new vision and
mission by facilitating internal communication of the message.

Focus on Employee Engagement

As the third phase of growth came to a close in 2007, Atlantis’s sprawling complex of hotels,
restaurants, exhibits and attractions had set a new standard for destination resorts in terms of the
scale and variety of the offering. Every known customer segment now had something to enjoy at
Atlantis. Yet all was not well at the property, even apart from the impending recession. Epic scale
alone could not guarantee success.

Many of the challenges Atlantis had to overcome were simply byproducts of its scale. In terms of
occupancy, Atlantis needed to manage bookings so as to fill various areas of the property while
sometimes shutting down entire building wings, restaurants, or other attractions, based on seasonal
occupancy and fluctuating demand. It was especially challenging to keep guests fully informed about
the availability, location, and timing of all the options available onsite. In describing what she would
regard as the perfect customer experience at Atlantis, Cohen mused:

The guest would know what’s available to them. I still have guests today who will call me
and say, ‘I cannot figure this out. You need to tell me what to do because I don’t have time to
figure this out.’ So the perfect guest experience would mean that they know what is available
and match it to what they would like to do, depending on their likes and their kids’ likes.

The way to the perfect guest experience ran directly through the employees in the guest
encounter. Thus Atlantis targeted how employees fit into the property’s strategic focus on the
customer experience at the receiving end of the service equation. When the decision to revisit the
vision and mission statement was made, the policy board focused on “really aligning the employees
with our core values and success factors, to energize them” as the property attempted to navigate in a
down economy following a major expansion of facilities and attractions.

Employee engagement posed perhaps the greatest challenge to Atlantis. Managing nearly 8,000
individuals was intrinsically challenging, but conditions imposed by the Bahamian labor market and
the local economy upped the ante considerably. Leadership skills, so important in an organization
that emphasized employee engagement, were almost entirely absent in new hires. Moreover, the
labor pool was relatively small, as the population of the Bahamas was only slightly above 300,000, so
the Atlantis workforce featured an uncommonly high number of staff members who were related by
family or otherwise acquainted. Karen Carey, the senior vice president for human resources,
explained, “We have had to recruit with the understanding that we were going to invest in a lot of
training and development…”

Yet even with extensive training programs, including some basic training for potential recruits, a
considerable challenge remained with cultivating middle management talent. Cohen pointed to the
major challenges:

We struggle with entry-level management, really having them understand what leadership
is. Many of them feel that they’re the boss now, so now they can be dictatorial. Their exposure
to leadership and management has been limited.

Atlantis Paradise Island thus found itself having accomplished most of the goals related to
expansion of its facilities and attractions but facing worrisome trends. These trends included
declining customer satisfaction (Exhibit 4), declining reservation enquiries, declining conversion
ratios (reservations/enquiries), and reduced average spend/reservation (Exhibit 5). Atlantis also
faced forecasting difficulty because, by 2009, more than 50% of customers were making their
reservations within 60 days of arrival, likely a symptom of the down economy (Exhibit 6).

It was in this context that the policy board, informed by Markantonis’s instinct that a renewal was
needed, turned its attention to its original vision and mission statement.

The Original Vision and Mission

From its inception Atlantis Paradise Island adhered to four core values:

Blow away the customer

Sustainable bottom-line performance

Develop passionate and committed people

Continuously strive for perfection

Its original vision and mission statement built on the theme of “blowing away the customer” with
an amazing experience, but also emphasized the presentation to the guest of elements of the lost
continent myth. The concept of blowing away the customer came directly from Sol Kerzner and was
rooted in the approach he pioneered in South Africa: amaze the guest. Accordingly, Atlantis marketed
itself as one of the wonders of the world, a principle that it enshrined literally in its original vision:

To have the Atlantis experience regarded as one of the wonders of the world!

The remaining elements of the core values figured equally literally in its original mission statement:

Our mission is to provide every guest with a “Blow Away Experience” that is inspired by a celebration of
the sea and the myth of a lost civilization. We accomplish this by bringing the myth of Atlantis to life by
offering warm, positive, engaging service.

At Atlantis we are a team of individuals who are passionate and committed in everything that we do. We
continuously strive for perfection. We are proud to work at Atlantis because we are a caring and learning
organization which rewards accomplishment and promotes teamwork, respect and innovation.

At Atlantis, we are the pride of our community while providing enduring value for our shareholders. When
Atlantis succeeds, we succeed as individuals, and we contribute to the success of the Bahamas.

Atlantis concentrated on creating and presenting the mythical elements to provide the “wow”
factor to its guests. As it grew, however, managing such a large workforce and such a huge facility
quite naturally made it difficult to bring the promises of the vision and mission statement to the
customer encounter.

Challenges related to driving the customer experience and employee engagement were reflected
in the metrics Atlantis relied on to gauge its success. Atlantis tracked customer satisfaction through a
variety of media, but foremost were monthly figures reflecting the Guest Satisfaction Index (GSI) that
it received from J. D. Power and Associates (see Exhibit 4) and a metric Atlantis called its Employee
Engagement Index (EEI). Cohen remarked:

When the crisis hit in 2008 we were really struggling with disappointing results in our
guest satisfaction ratings. They were frightening, to be honest. Our employees were feeling
vulnerable for the first time in our history. Their hearts and minds were no longer in it.

All these management imperatives were never more challenging than in the grip of a worldwide
recession, and Atlantis’s business suffered as a result. It may seem perverse then to have pressed
forward with ambitious plans for expansion, but as CIO Gay said,

While economic times may not be the best, these are good times in terms of retrenching and
rebuilding. We’re taking this opportunity to step back and actually rebuild ourselves and
growing ourselves even more applicably to be better than we would have been and would be
when we come out of this economy.

Still, with the recession bearing down, reducing occupancy and revenues while undermining
workforce morale, Atlantis made the decision to reconsider the core elements of its business strategy
towards the end of 2008.

Out with the Old, in with the New

The Run-up

Atlantis forged its new vision and mission statement through a series of steps that began in
January of 2009. The end result of that process was a new vision and a new mission statement:

Our Vision:

To be the most desired and complete destination resort experience in the world.

Our Mission: We will amaze all who we touch through the uniqueness of our product, the warmth
of our people, and the engaging wonders of our mythical world.

These new statements captured the essence of Atlantis succinctly, but the decision to replace the
old vision and mission statement was not taken until after the leadership had spent considerable time
taking stock of the changing face of the property following the end of the third expansion phase in
2007. Atlantis had continually grown and evolved and as a consequence had become a profoundly
different company from what it had been entering the new millennium. Markantonis explained:

As we reflected during the crisis, we realized that it wasn’t business as usual anymore. We
added a hundred and twenty acres and doubled the size of two hotels. We really weren’t the
same company anymore.

Carey added:

We began to leave the old vision behind, not consciously, but we were shifting, and not
everybody was on the same path. The old vision wasn’t coming forth in employees’ collective
behaviors. They didn’t feel it; they didn’t see it; they were not passionate about it, and we saw
it in our guest surveys. We saw it in our employee feedback.

So with a new identity and a commitment to a multi-generational strategy, Atlantis was looking for a
way to re-energize its employees and its customer base.

Carey was the longest-tenured member of the Atlantis policy board, and she had been involved in
the adoption of the original vision and mission statement in the mid-90s soon after Kerzner’s
company purchased the property. While the property’s physical attributes may have amazed the
guest more than ever following two expansion phases, making Atlantis even more of a wonder,
Carey summarized the need for a new approach:

And so our market changed, our strategy changed, our customer base changed. And then
also the needs of our customers changed. So we began to look and then we found also that we
were evolving, we were shifting, and really almost relinquishing the mission to be one of the
great wonders, and focusing more on the experience and the memories, but our employees
were not entirely in synch with these developments.

It was time to align the company’s vision and mission statement with these new realities.

Crafting the New Vision and Mission Statement

The process began with a policy board meeting that set in motion a series of events culminating in
the new vision and mission statement. The next step was to hold a meeting with the next layer of
management, at which Markantonis spoke of the “need” for a new vision and mission statement. The
policy board then devised an action plan to begin in January 2009 that would result in final approval

of a new vision and mission statement by the end of March 2009. This was followed by a day-long
vision and mission workshop facilitated by Dr. Chekitan Dev of Cornell University, which involved
not only key executives and managers, but also some top-performing front-line employees. This
event, during which the group hammered out a rough draft of the new vision and mission statement,
charged everyone involved with energy and enthusiasm for the vision and mission initiative. The
kick-off of Dr. Dev’s workshop began with Markantonis explaining clearly from the outset why
adopting a new vision and mission statement made sense to top management: “Yes. That’s what the
beauty of this workshop was. That, yes, it made sense,” noted Kim. Kim described it:

Dr. Dev went through his research on global hospitality, travel, and tourism trends. He
talked to us about changing customer profiles, intensifying competition, increasing value
orientation, escalating concern for the environment, and educated us on where we were
positioned. And also went over our existing vision and mission. And then we went through
several exercises. So obviously he has done it many, many times. He did a good job of making
sure we were involved, that we were doing it.

The theme of the workshop was “Profit from Change.” Dr. Dev stressed that an effective vision
concentrates on the future by expressing what an organization wants to become and inspiring its
stakeholders. An effective vision also captures the key decision-making criteria on the basis of which
the organization will realize the vision in its operations. It was then proposed that an effective
mission concentrates more on the present, offering a statement of purpose that sets the performance
bar high while defining the customer and identifying the critical processes through which the mission
will be accomplished. This part of the workshop closed by distilling the characteristics of effective
visions and mission statements into seven key principles:

• CLEAR—to both internal and external customers

• CONCISE—brief and to the point

• CREDIBLE—that we can do it

• ASPIRATIONAL—makes us all stretch

• ACHIEVABLE—in the foreseeable future

• ALIGNED—with our stakeholders

• CONSISTENT—with our core values

Particular attention was paid to understanding customer satisfaction/retention and employee
engagement, improvement in which was a major goal of adopting a new vision and mission
statement.

By the end of the workshop those in attendance, with Dr. Dev’s facilitation, were able to achieve a
strong consensus around the new draft vision and mission statement. Markantonis described the
action planning phase of the workshop:

We subdivided into teams who came up with their own options. The presentations were
made and very quickly we had consensus. I think we were able to do it this way because
everyone was so excited and positive about it. And everyone realized why we were doing it.
There was not a case of “Why are we doing this? We already have one!” No one had that issue.
So that’s how it came together.

Such a high degree of harmony may have resulted in part from Atlantis’s unique position in the
Bahamian tourist market. Most Atlantis employees, managers included, took great pride in working
for the country’s largest and most internationally prominent employer and in representing the
Atlantis brand. They wanted the company to succeed and therefore were eager to do whatever was
necessary to help.

Following the workshop, those involved continued their discussions, at policy board meetings
and division meetings. They organized several focus groups to elicit feedback from all staffing levels.
The Atlantis leadership team stayed in touch with Dr. Dev, who provided feedback and guidance. By
the end of March 2009 the new vision and mission statement had been adopted. The leadership
mapped out the next steps needed to roll out the vision and mission across the property.

Embedding the New Vision and Mission Statement

The Rollout

With a new vision and mission statement in place, the policy board turned the major
responsibility for rolling them out to Carey. She helped form a team of what Atlantis called Vision
Champions, consisting at first of about a dozen front-line employees—later expanded to a larger team
of between 30 and 40—who enthusiastically embraced the new vision and mission and were anxious
to assist the executive team in embedding them into the work-a-day culture. At their orientation
session, the Vision Champions learned what their role would be:

• Know the Vision & Mission by Heart!

• Co-facilitate all Vision and Mission events in your Division

• Generate excitement around events

o Help create and spread buzz

o Talk it up!

o Coordinate contest submissions

o Visit line-ups

• Share ideas on how to deliver on the Vision and Mission

• Suggest measures of success

• Work with your division head to identify recognition opportunities

With this platform in hand, the Vision Champions then went to their divisions and began the
process of embedding the new vision and mission statement. Two components of the Vision
Champion role that are mentioned here—the contest and line-ups—figured prominently in the
rollout. As the new vision and mission went down to all the divisions and departments, employees,
facilitated by the Vision Champions, were asked to help design the process through which everyone
would learn and embrace them.

One key piece of this process was an all-property performance competition, in which talented
employees in every division put together a musical or theatrical performance to express the spirit of
the new vision and mission statement. Offering five-minute raps, poetry, skits, or song-and-dance

numbers that incorporated key words in the new vision and mission statement, the performances
were recorded as videos and reviewed by the policy board to determine three finalists who re-
enacted their performances at a major all-employee event (Exhibit 7 shows the poster announcing the
contest). As Cohen said:

I’ve never seen a better rollout, because the one thing about this culture is, our people are
very musically oriented and they love to perform. So every one of these departments put on
skits, performed raps, or danced. One was better than the next. It made it fun and it wasn’t just
dry. It was a language that the employees understood.

The three chosen finalists then performed their acts at an all-employee rally, about 6 months after
the first meeting of the policy board, which served as the official introduction of the new vision and
mission statement, an event marked by whooping and dancing and celebratory revelry (including an
onstage dance from the COO herself).

The infectious spirit of the rollout carried on from there, as the real work of embedding the vision
and mission statement began, with the aid of the expanded Champions team who brought the
message to ground level at daily lineups and other events in and out of the workplace including the
local community. (Exhibit 8 shows a script that was used by managers at line-ups.) The Champions
team even included union shop stewards, who volunteered to serve. Explaining how it was possible
for management to achieve buy-in from traditional adversaries (by all accounts management’s
relationship with its collective bargaining units was relatively peaceful but nevertheless subject to
occasional tension), Carey said simply that they appreciated being included in the process, being
given a voice. In making it clear to the unions that their opinions mattered, then, Atlantis earned their
support.

Each of the Champions was then involved in customizing the rollout for his or her own division
or department. Vision cards with the core values and the new vision and mission statement were
printed and distributed to everyone. Other paraphernalia included key chains, T-shirts, mouse pads,
and even a screensaver that ran on all Atlantis computers. Orientation and training materials and
messages were all revised to reflect the new vision and mission. The new training program focused
on the language of the vision and mission, driving home the message that every employee now had
to consciously apply the vision and mission principles in delivering service to customers or carrying
out their responsibilities within the organization. A typical exercise involved turning familiar words
into service-oriented acronyms, such as this example with the word “heart”:

“Create an acronym using the word ‘heart’ that describes the spirit of the employee who
serves from the heart . . .”

• H – Helpful

• E – Engaging

• A – Attentive and action oriented

• R – Responsive and responsible

• T – Thankful

The infrastructure for embedding the new vision and mission statement was in place but, as Kim
recognized, the work was just beginning: “The vision and mission are still new. I believe the
momentum is building but we are at a junction where we cannot give up. This cannot be ‘the
program of the month.’ We have to live it, communicate it and ensure every employee’s buy-in.”

Cohen noted that one obstacle to fully embedding the new vision and mission was represented by
mid-level managers:

The challenge—and it’s not just in the vision and mission, it’s in everything—is in this layer
of managers. It’s a full-time job to develop them. Some feel that they need to get the data, but
nobody else needs it. They still see lineups as a time to make sure your shoes are polished but
not as a time to energize and enliven. We are changing that. Continual and effective
communication across all levels of the organization is a key priority for us.

Changing the culture to fit the vision and mission was a critical component of the process, but
how did Atlantis plan to measure success? How would they know that adopting a new vision and
mission statement would lead to better individual and organizational performance?

Measuring Success and Moving Forward: A Fork in the Road?

As the Atlantis leadership team reflected in early 2010 on the time that had passed since rolling
out the new vision and mission, they felt very good about the progress achieved to date. Carey
remarked:

We are headed in the right direction. The feedback that we get apart from the scores—
comment cards, telephone calls, and unsolicited letters that we’re seeing—is telling us that
we’re closer to delivering the guest experience our vision talks to.

Cohen added:

When it comes to vision and mission, you really get the feeling that it was effective
communication with employees that made them get it. That’s a tribute to focusing on getting
them aligned and making sure they understand the value of the customer.

The leadership was monitoring several key metrics (Exhibit 9) while focusing in particular on
guest satisfaction (see Exhibit 10) and employee engagement (see Exhibit 11). They also hoped that
adopting the new vision and mission statement would improve service delivery to help them cope
with other challenges, such as the booking window issue (Exhibit 6), as they considered providing
specialized services such as quicker reservation confirmation response times, customized airport
pick-up arrangements, restaurant and spa reservations, and so on.

Ultimately the success of the initiative depended on improving employee behavior,
understanding whether employees were fully committed to realizing the vision in their everyday
work tasks and encounters with guests, at what Dev calls “moments of truth.” Measuring such
behaviors was not simple, but had to be done through performance reviews and similar tools that
were administered by that middle and lower management level of employees. Such a need for candid
feedback was at times problematic given the tight-knit fabric of the Bahamian community. Cohen
remarked:

In a small social environment like this, everybody knows each other. It’s much harder to
manage somebody who you grew up with or is your mother’s best friend or is your church
elder. Your immediate supervisor would do your review, and we had such disconnects.
Someone would say, “This manager is awful.” Yet he’s got the highest review from his
immediate boss. There was no credibility. Now we’re going to have more than one person help
with the reviews.

Coupled with improving the approach to employee reviews, new training and orientation
programs targeting middle managers were a priority for Atlantis. Cohen herself planned to teach
classes about leadership and vision to managers.

Cohen explained:

We have 800 mid-level managers who are critical to this. We’ve put together core classes for
managers to take before they talk to an employee. We’ve changed the orientation to involve
division heads with their key managers. So from myself to the division heads to the
department heads, we’re investing in these mid-level managers.

A more vexing question pertained to the future. While the early phases of the rollout proceeded as
planned, the question remained as to how Atlantis would ensure that the momentum accumulated in
the rollout would not quickly fizzle out. Atlantis had reached a fork in the road: Should they have
planned to simply complete the process of integrating the content and spirit of the new vision and
mission statement into their training material, their daily lineups, their customer-facing literature,
and their communications with employees? Or should they have “supercharged” the effort by
initiating a second or follow-up phase to re-energize the process of embedding the new vision and
mission statement throughout the company?

On this question the Atlantis executives had not yet achieved consensus. While Cohen accepted
the term “supercharge,” Carey, while noting plans to hold another rally in 2010, explained: “We’re in
the process right now of collectively coming together and talking about what else or what next. How
do we make sure that we’re keeping the vision and mission alive? How do we keep it fresh? Should
all position announcements, job descriptions and standard operating procedures make explicit
reference to the vision and mission? Should each business unit be encouraged to adapt the vision and
mission with its own team?” Those were the questions facing Atlantis as it moved forward with a
new vision and mission statement that it hoped would continue to lift the resort’s performance to
new heights.

Exhibit 8 Script Used During Employee Line-ups to Help Roll Out the New Vision and Mission
Statement

Atlantis Vision and Mission Launch

Script for Managers

Managers: Please use this statement to launch the new Vision and Mission statements to your
teams at your next line-up meeting. Take time to explore with your teams how they specifically deliver
on the mission in their daily activities. After launching the Vision/Mission:

1. Encourage them to memorize the new statements…it may come in handy sooner than they
think.

2. Brainstorm with your teams on which activities they can/will do to practice the behaviors that
deliver on our mission and our vision.

3. Practice the behaviors
4. Recognize and reward your employees for delivering on the mission and vision
5. Celebrate the success of your team in living the mission and vision

We are all aware of our company’s core values – particularly number three which requires that
we “continuously strive for perfection – good enough never is”.

With this in mind, it is critical that we do everything we can to remain on the cutting edge.
Sometimes, this means that we must step back and reevaluate the way we do things to ensure that
we remain current, relevant and highly competitive…not just in the Bahamas, but globally.

To this end, our President and Policy Board revisited our Mission and Vision statements, which
have set the course for our company for the last several years. Our efforts to deliver on these
statements have helped us to achieve the success that we enjoy today. However, given the times,
we must strive to secure an even a greater market share and higher levels of success. Accordingly,
and after extensive collaboration with all levels across our organization, we are proud to present to
you our new Mission and Vision statements, which will steer us into the new decade and beyond.

Our Vision:

To be the most desired and complete destination resort experience in the world.

Our Mission:

We will amaze all we touch through the uniqueness of our product, the warmth of our
people and the engaging wonders of our mythical world.
