Mirvac Press Release for Sebel Vanuatu 8th October 2009: Mirvac Hotels & Resorts will cease management of The Sebel Vanuatu, including all associated activities of sales & marketing, the food & beverage operations and conferencing from 1st December 2009. Mirvac Hotels & Resorts took over management of the property under their 4.5 star Sebel brand in April 2007 and quickly reached a competitive operating level within the first 12 month trading period. The Sebel Vanuatu has enjoyed a robust trade over the past 12 months drawing upon the brand’s strong distribution network, Mirvac’s CRS capabilities and the group’s national and global network of sales and marketing professionals. Under The Sebel banner, the property has played host to many important events and conferences, including the most successful Tok Tok to date, government delegations, international VIPs, cabaret artists and entertainers, and opened the Jupiter’s Casino.

Mr Andrew Turner, CEO of Mirvac Hotels & Resorts said, “We wish the owner of the hotel every success under his own brand of The Grand which will continue to operate along-side sister hotel Iririki. 

We feel confident the ground work achieved by Mirvac in gaining international prominence as well as positioning the hotel within the local market, will place him in a strong position going forward”.
