Kerzner International Limited (NYSE:KZL) (the "Company"), a leading
international developer and operator of destination resorts,
casinos and luxury resorts, announced the appointment of Hector de
Galard as General Manager of One&Only Le Touessrok, the
Mauritius resort that is part of the One&Only Resorts
collection. Mr. de Galard began his new position at One&Only Le
Touessrok earlier this year. Mr. de Galard originally joined
One&Only Resorts in late 2003 to launch a hotel in Cuba that
was to be named the One&Only Saratoga, Havana. The Company and
One&Only Resorts have since terminated their relationship with
the principals involved in the project in Cuba and have no
continuing involvement in the Saratoga hotel. "When we withdrew
from Saratoga, finding a key position for de Galard was a priority.
The timing was fortuitous, as we were searching concurrently for
the right person to run One&Only Le Touessrok," commented JT
Kuhlman, President/Managing Director of One&Only Resorts. "De
Galard's tremendous experience with luxury travel and passionate
commitment to details makes him the perfect fit for Le Touessrok.
Under his guidance, the resort will continue to enjoy an
award-winning reputation." Mr. de Galard came to One&Only
Resorts after his tenure with Paraiso de la Bonita, Cancun, Mexico,
where he was responsible for the opening and management of this
exclusive resort. He also opened Amanjena in Marrakech, Morocco for
Amanresorts as well as reopening and managing Hotel Bora Bora,
Amanresorts' property in Bora Bora. Prior to working for
Amanresorts, de Galard held the position of General Manager at two
award-winning luxury resorts, Hostellerie de Crillon le Brave in
France and Hasting House in Canada, both of which were affiliated
with Relais & Chateaux. About One&Only Resorts Created
