Exclusive Resorts and Leica introduce the “Leica On Loan” program
DENVER, July 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --Exclusive Resorts®, today unveiled its new Leica on Loan program with Leica Camera, the industry's most iconic and revolutionary camera brand, providing guests with complimentary access to Leica's full line of cameras and sport optics to use while on vacation in one of the Club's 300+ villas spanning 75 destinations.
Developed for experienced and novice photographers alike, the new Leica on Loan program provides the opportunity for Exclusive Resorts guests to use a Leica camera or sport optic while on vacation. Travelers can select from nearly the full line of Leica equipment including the compact, WIFI enabled Leica C or the much sought after Leica M and have items shipped to their home prior to departure on an Exclusive Resorts vacation.

"Exclusive Resorts vacations are all about creating once-in-a-lifetime moments and memories," says Kristen Nolte, Chief Marketing Officer at Exclusive Resorts. "Our new Leica on Loan program helps ensure that our guests are able to capture these moments in the best possible way using the very best equipment."
