The award was presented to SHTA's Jr. Project Manager Valya Pantophlet during a 2-day Leadership Conference hosted by the Caribbean Society of Hotel Association Executives (CSHAE) earlier this week.
According to CHTA spokesperson Richard Kahn, the SHTA outshone the other competing islands because of consistency in each edition as it relates to industry statistics, news and upcoming CHTA events.
This is not the first time that the SHTA has won such an award. It received the Newsworthy Award for Excellence in Tourism Communication for its printed bi-monthly publication, The Voice, in 1998 and 2006.
The SHTA is thrilled to have its work recognized regionally and hopes to walk away with both awards (for electronic and printed newsletters) next year.
