INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. (June 6, 2017) – Hyatt Regency Lake Tahoe Resort, Spa and Casino announces the appointment of Chris Skelding as the property’s new Director of Sales, Marketing, and Events. Skelding is an industry leader who most recently served as the Director of Sales at the flagship Hyatt Regency Chicago. Skelding brings with him a lifetime of experience and success within the hospitality industry – almost literally, as he started working in hospitality when he was just 14 at his local country club in Indiana.
“After seeing firsthand how many of our flagship properties operate and connect with their customers, I’m incredibly excited to bring new ideas and offerings to Tahoe,” says Skelding. “Incline Village is one of the most beautiful destinations in the west and I look forward to working with the talented resort team to create even better experiences for leisure and group travelers.”
Skelding began his career with Hyatt Hotels and Resorts at Hyatt Regency Chicago in 1999 where he served as Operations Manager and then Catering Sales Manager. His most recent and integral role as the Director of Sales at Hyatt Regency Chicago is preceded by a long list of management positons held at domestic and international Hyatt hotels and resorts, including Grand Hyatt at Baha Mar, an extraordinary resort in the Bahamas with more than 2,000 rooms. Skelding’s experience at both well-known domestic and world-class international Hyatt properties has helped influence the ideas he’s bringing to Hyatt Regency Lake Tahoe Resort, Spa and Casino, like a new group offering that gets attendees out of meeting rooms and onto Lake Tahoe’s hiking and biking trails.
Further adding to his excitement about being in the Tahoe region, Skelding is an avid skier and golfer and looks forward to the accessibility of these seasonal activities as a new Incline Village resident. Skelding is passionate about exploring the unique offerings of the Tahoe region, from morning mimosa catamaran tours to all-day hikes to hidden alpine lakes.
