Allegiant Travel Company has announced plans to sell at least a majority stake in its Sunseeker Resort Charlotte Harbor, citing financial underperformance since the resort̢۪s opening in late 2023.
Despite efforts to improve operations, the 785-room Florida luxury resort has struggled to meet revenue expectations, prompting Allegiant to seek investor interest.
This move aligns with broader Florida tourism and hospitality trends, as outlined by the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity (DEO) and the Florida Tourism Industry Marketing Corporation, both of which track market performance and investment opportunities in the state's tourism sector.
