Skift Take

Kerzner is expanding, but refuses to lose sight of its relentless pursuit of ultra-luxury standards.

The CEO of Kerzner International said the brand will never introduce a loyalty program. The reason? "Luxury can not be traded for points."

Kerzner operates the Atlantis integrated resorts as well as the ultra-luxurious One&Only brands.

"We only do luxury, that's our space," Zuber
