2010 Cacique Awards
2010 Cacique Awards
The 14th Cacique Awards is to be held on January 28th at the Rainforest theatre, Wyndham Nassau Resort & Crystal Palace Casino, Cable Beach.
The purpose of the Cacique Awards is to recognize the roles played by those individuals and organizations whose performance or products have consistently made a positive impact on the quality and the growth of tourism in The Bahamas. The Cacique Awards have an illustrious foundation in the National Tourism Achievement Awards and the Bahamas Hotel Association awards.
Any member of the public may cast a nomination for the general awards, the Minster of Tourism’s Hospitality Award or the Clement T. Maynard Lifetime Achievement Award. They may nominate as many persons as they wish. The same person may also be nominated for more than one award if he/she is making a contribution in more than one area. To be eligible for the awards, the nominees must be permanent residents of The Bahamas. Nominees must be consistent high performers. Nominations for awards in the Hotel Sector must come from members of the Bahamas Hotel Association and meet BHA criteria. Employees of the Ministry of Tourism and their agencies are not eligible for nomination.
William Saunders, founder of Majestic Tours, was named the recipient of the Clement Maynard Lifetime Achievement Award while Kerzner President and Managing Director George Markantonis was named Hotelier of the Year for the 14th Cacique Awards.
