September 11, 2018 – Selecting a college is an exciting time, but can also be daunting. Beyond the anxiety of grades and tests, there is the added pressure of scheduling school tours and arranging admission appointments, all within a very tight timeframe. To ease the college-hunting stressors, hospitality innovator Mandarin Oriental and XOJET, the leader in on-demand private aviation, have teamed up with prominent college entrance counselor, Abby Siegel & Associates to create the most comprehensive College Tour Package to date.
The College Tour Package is not only a time-saving dream, it also incorporates collegiate spirit, with tailored university logoed accessories outfitting the jet, and luxury dorm-room themed amenities gifted at each hotel on check-in. With a convenient single process booking, guests can arrange private jet transportation with XOJET to multiple university destinations, suite accommodations spacious enough to comfortably host the whole family at Mandarin Oriental, and a private consultation with an award-winning college counselor offering detailed instruction on how to best navigate the admissions process.
“We are delighted to evolve our partnership with XOJET, a premier private aviation provider, to offer this beneficial package,” said Jan Goessing, President Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group, Americas. “As Mandarin Oriental has always been dedicated to creating ‘life moments’ though attention to detail and intuitive service, supporting students and their families through this momentous process is natural.”
