We are delighted to share that Moving Mountains was this month recognized as a winner of the 2020 Destinationaire Award, launched this year by the host of the SlickTalk Podcast, Wil Slickers.
Winners were selected from over 40+ nominations by extensive research and time of vetting through their companies’ social media, websites, guest reviews, listings on other platforms, branding, and representation of the hospitality industry.
Slickers said: “A Destinationaire is innovative and creative in service of others. A Destinationaire is selfless and leads selflessly. A Destinationaire knows how to tell a story. A Destinationaire builds trust and confidence with guests and staff.
“A Destinationaire masters the art of first impressions and experiences. A Destinationaire knows their stuff and puts safety as a top priority. A Destinationaire builds direct brand loyalty and provides value.
“The definition of a Destinationaire is a person who is wired to create remarkable experiences that are anticipated and shared,” he added.
More than 13 industry partners and sponsors teamed up in order to put the prizes together and help promote and nominate in their networks, and a panel of industry experts including Michael Goldin, director of operations at NoiseAware, Deborah Labi, founder of Have You Got, Jill Mason, CEO of VR Scheduler, Cliff Johnson, co-founder of Rented Inc, and Richard Vaughton, co-founder of Yes Consulting, volunteered to help select their top five winners that they thought were the best fit for the Destinationaire Award standards. Slickers was the head judge who made the final call on the selections.
Robin Craigen, Co-Founder and CEO gratefully accepted the award on behalf of the incredible team of staff of Moving Mountains who have been delivering memorable vacations in exceptional mountain homes for over 20 years in Steamboat Springs, Beaver Creek and Vail.
“This award is a great honor and we are humbled to receive recognition like this from our industry peers. I hope that this award will inspire others to push the envelope of what is possible in hospitality as vacation rentals continue to gain popularity”.
Slickers said: “All were nominated for amazing reasons and again, it wasn’t easy to get to this conclusion. Each winner represents amazing uniqueness and a true hospitality heart and spirit.
“They showed selflessness in their leadership, amazing storytelling through branding and on other media platforms, and put trust and confidence along with safety at the forefront of operations while maintaining great guest experience. Congratulations everyone for fabulous work and doing what you do!
“As hard as this was, I love how this showed the amazing depth our industry has. Including all nominations to the finalists, it truly showcases the beautiful representation of hospitality.”
