Willemstad July 24, 2020 – Yesterday, CHATA hosted the first Stars of the Industry award ceremony at CHATA member Zest Mediterranean. During this event, the first and second quarter employees and supervisors were nominated by a variety of CHATA members and were recognized and celebrated. All the nominees received a gift provided by Fun Miles and United Distributors.
Every quarter CHATA focuses on a different personal quality a person has that brings out the best in them while working in the hospitality/tourism industry. With an ongoing global pandemic, it was difficult to bring these nominees into the light for their efforts. It is for that reason that the first and second quarter of 2020, CHATA focused on the resilience of those who kept moving and continued to pour their heart into the tourism industry.
According to President & CEO, Mr. Miles Mercera: “Every quarter, we strive to focus on a different quality a person possesses that is highly valued by their supervisors. Due to COVID-19, the whole world was and still is going through a difficult time. However, regardless of the global pandemic, there were several people who really stood out when the going got tough. We’re shedding light on those employees who went above and beyond to stay positive, but also remained motivated during this time. We believe that these employees are among many others that push our industry forward and help Curaçao’s economy recover in the process”.
