CHATA, the Curaçao Hospitality and Tourism Association, proudly hosted its 2nd “Stars of the Industry” event of the year, honoring the exceptional talents and dedication of employees and supervisors nominated by CHATA Members for their outstanding performance during the second quarter of 2024. This prestigious ceremony, held at the stunning Papagayo Beach Resort, serves as a key initiative in recognizing and celebrating the professionals who drive Curaçao’s tourism success.
In addition to celebrating individual excellence, CHATA continues to champion sustainable growth within the industry. While the destination has already exceeded its stay-over tourism targets by an impressive 52% over the yearly budget, CHATA remains focused on ensuring that this growth is both balanced and long-lasting. At the heart of this strategy is an unwavering commitment to human capital, the cornerstone of Curaçao’s hospitality sector.
CHATA CEO Anuschka Cova underscored the importance of this approach during the ceremony. “While we celebrate the remarkable growth of our tourism sector, we recognize that the true strength of this industry lies in its people. Sustainable growth is not only about numbers; it’s about investing in our human capital, enhancing the quality of service, and continuously motivating and empowering our workforce. Our success depends on the talent, dedication, and passion of the professionals we honor today.”
Supported by sponsors including Avila Beach Hotel, Blue Bay Curaçao Golf and Beach Resort, Corendon Mangrove Beach Resort, Curaçao Marriott Beach Resort, Papagayo Beach Resort, Renaissance Wind Creek Curaçao Resort, Serena’s Art Factory, and Sunscape Curaçao Resort, Spa & Casino, each nominee was presented with meaningful gifts, including a miniature Chichi figurine, symbolizing Curaçao’s vibrant culture. These gifts represent not only appreciation but also the recognition of the critical role that these individuals play in shaping the future of the island’s tourism industry.
The “Stars of the Industry” event is a testament to CHATA’s commitment to nurturing talent and driving sustainable progress. By focusing on human capital, the quality of service, and the continuous motivation of personnel, CHATA ensures that Curaçao’s tourism sector remains resilient and competitive while offering unparalleled guest experiences.
CHATA is thrilled to announce the results of the Stars of the Industry for Q2 2024 and looks forward to continuing its efforts in fostering a thriving and sustainable industry. Our people are the heart of this growth, and we are dedicated to ensuring that their contributions are recognized and celebrated.
