Las Palomas Appoints Managing Director
MARCH 12, 2007. With more than 30 years of experience, Fernando Garcia Rossette is enjoying the unique challenge of developing a condominium hotel destination resort in the burgeoning destination of Puerto Pe~nasco, Mexico.
A seasoned professional within the Mexican hospitality industry he understands the importance of creating a distinctive destination for his guests to not just stay, but truly live. 'I was attracted to this post by the massive change that is taking place in Puerto Pe~nasco,' says Rossette. 'Las Palomas is leading the change and is set apart by its majestic views of the Sea of Cortez, its world-class 18-hole golf links, soon-to-open spa and events pavilion, and the strong sense of community our staff fosters for our guests,' he continues.
Rossette is responsible for overseeing 300 employees and guiding the general operational and financial direction of the golf resort community. Rossette has garnered a reputation for creating professional service standards that exceed guest expectations with an immaculate experience. Degreed from the Escuela de Tourismo in Granada, Spain, Rossette's particular area of expertise is finance.
