Trophies and cash prizes will be up for grabs when Jamaica's first Tourism Service Excellence Awards comes off on April 24.
Dubbed the Tourism Oscars, the inaugural event will take place at the Rose Hall of the Ritz-Carlton Golf & Spa Resort in Montego Bay.
Thirteen individuals and nine organisations representing the island's resort areas of Kingston, Port Antonio, Ocho Rios, Montego Bay, Negril and the South Coast, will vie for the top service award for each region.
Each resort winner will be presented with the Resort Area Champion Trophy plus J$50,000. Resort area champions will participate in a four-day group trip to Nassau, Bahamas. Accommodations will be provided through the Bahamas Ministry of Tourism at the Atlantic Resort and flights will be provided by Air Jamaica.
The national champion will walk away with an additional cash prize of J$100,000 and an all expenses paid week-long trip for two to the islands of St. Maarten, Antigua, and Barbados, staying at top resorts in the islands, courtesy of the Ministry of Tourism in each island. The winner will fly first class, courtesy of Caribbean Airlines.
Launched in July 2008, the Tourism Service Excellence Programme seeks to recognise outstanding service delivery in the hospitality sector by both individuals and organisations. Its aim is to reward the best in service and to motivate those individuals and organisations who consistently surpass standards and guest expectations. The awards recognise those organisations and individuals who have demonstrated exemplary service during 2008.
