Grand Hotel & Casino Vanuatu Marlin Classic - 2011
We are very happy to continue our relationship with the Grand Hotel and Casino as the naming sponsor of the Vanuatu Marlin Classic. This relationship has been years in the making and is an obvious fit for both the Grand Hotel and the Marlin Classic Tournament. The hotel is centrally located directly on the water in Port Vila Harbour and boasts high quality facilities including various well appointed and award winning dining venues, a world class casino, a host of luxury accommodations and access to a wide variety of activities; all supported by their professional and well trained staff.
Again this year all major VMC events will be held at the Grand Hotel including the observer briefing, tournament briefing, calcutta, morning breakfasts and the awards dinner. The Grand Hotel is central to all the individual events that make up the Marlin Classic over a 10 day period. On fishing days evening drinks & snack service will be provided by the Grand Hotel on a waterfront block adjacent to the Grand Hotel property. This block will serve as the VMC Base for 2011 and is only a few short steps from the Grand Hotel lobby.
In its second year as the naming sponsor the Grand Hotel and Casino is offering a special accommodation rate to VMC competitors of only $170 AUD/night.
We believe this arrangement will provide the best possible experience for our competitors and their families that travel both to support them and enjoy quality time in the heart of Vanuatu. From the morning shotgun start, in front of the Grand Hotel, and the day's activities to evening tag card presentations to nightlife and dining, the Grand Hotel is where you will want to be.
