Being a leader is much more than just a position. During my first year in the Summer Youth Leadership Program (Summer Youth for short), I got a glimpse of what it felt to be a responsible young adult, amicable colleague, and a good friend. I relished my time at the Summer Youth Leadership Program. It influenced my life in so many ways: mentally, emotionally, and physically. Therefore, this past 2017 summer, I decided to reapply and learn more things throughout my summer. Because I was an alumnus, I knew I was going to receive more responsibility, higher standards, and new situations than 2016—and I deiced to go through with the program.

Despite Cabo San Viejo’s (CSV) start in the late 1970s as a “fat farm,” catering primarily to women, the resort is now operating in a more niche and exclusive market, providing for guests who are largely affluent with high expectations for the service. In terms of pure demographics, the business welcomes 3,500 new guests each year. Between new and repeat customers, 70% to 80% are female. In the high seasons of winter, spring and fall, the average household income (AHI) exceeds $150,000 for 82% of guests; in the summer an AHI greater than $150,000 applies to 59% of guests. Most customers live in California and the West coast region and are in their 40s or 50s. It is interesting and should be pointed out that between 1992 and 2004, CSV’s average customer age has increased by 10 years of age, from 47 to 57. Behaviorally, up to 70% of new guests became aware of CSV via word of mouth, while 30% visited as a result of travel agent referrals. The most common reasons for patronizing CSV (regardless of frequency) are rest, a healthy vacation option, fitness vacation option and spa activities and offerings. The average guest takes 3 to 4 vacations per year and first time guests returned to the resort within six years at a rate of 32% and 62% of initial return visitors returned again within 6 years. The two most common reasons for customers returning are health benefits (35%) and a great overall vacation (30%). CSV
