The SHTA recently awarded two of its hotel members for their outstand-ing contribution to the association’s Dollar-A-Day program in 2009. The properties were Oyster Bay Beach Resort for large hotels and La Vista Beach Resort for small hotels. The hotels outperformed other participating hotels in their respective categories.
As a token of appreciation, the SHTA awarded each member of the Frontdesk staff with $50 SXM Bucks. The SHTA and Management of the hotels felt it important to award these line workers, because it was mainly their efforts that contributed to the program’s success at the resorts.
