The high standards of professionalism and leadership at the State’s accommodation hotels was acknowledged at the AHA Devil’s Lair 2010 Accommodation Hotel Industry Gala Ball featuring the presentation of the ME Bank Accommodation Hotel Management Awards held on Monday 16 August 2010 at Burswood Entertainment Complex.

While the AHA and Devil’s Lair 2010 Accommodation Hotel Industry Gala Ball presents an opportunity for the industry to celebrate, the ME Bank Accommodation Hotel Management Awards recognise levels of outstanding service and accomplishment throughout a range of important industry categories from housekeeping to human resources.

AHA(WA) CEO Bradley Woods, said the awards underline the importance of the accommodation hotels sector to WA and highlights the vital role accommodation properties play in building the State’s reputation as a tourist destination.

“The awards recognise the high service standards and professionalism prevalent in WA and celebrate the ongoing levels of dedication demonstrated by our industry professionals across a range of areas that are imperative to ensuring our guests enjoy a quality experience,” Mr Woods said.

“Our accommodation hotels provide a home away from home for the high numbers of corporate guests working in the State and a base for the thousands of tourists from overseas and interstate that travel to Western Australia. Congratulations to all finalists and winners."
