Xanterra is a hospitality company focusing on national and state park concessions and ecologically conscious resorts. Established through the acquisition of The Fred Harvey Company in 1968 and TW Recreational Services in 1995, Xanterra became the largest national and state park concessioner in the United States. In September 2008, the Denver-based Anschutz Company purchased Xanterra, pledging to uphold the legacy of hospitality established by Fred Harvey and to continue setting the standard for environmentally friendly resorts that complement their natural surroundings.
With its headquarters in Colorado, Xanterra is a key player in the hospitality industry with 3,500 employees and an annual revenue of $380 million. The company is known for its diverse workforce, with 45.1% female and 31.2% ethnic minority employees and a high proportion of Democratic Party members at 68%. Employees at Xanterra tend to have relatively short tenures, averaging 2.5 years. The average employee earns $31,105 per year, which is notably lower than some of its competitors in the industry.
