Ajman Tourism Development Department Announces Ajman Tourism Award 2014
Ajman Tourism Development Department (ATDD) has announced the launch of the Ajman Tourism Award 2014, aimed at ensuring quality control on all tourism products in the Emirate of Ajman.
A periodic award that targets hotel establishments in the emirate is supported by CHA International, organiser of the MENA Travel Awards.
Faisal Al Nuaimi, General Manager of ATDD, unveiling the details of the award in a press conference, said that the Ajman Award comes in line with Ajman Vision 2021 and out of the ATDD's adherence to the best practices adopted with regard to quality control on all tourism products in the Emirate of Ajman.
The Award was based on a mystery shopper project that was launched by ATDD in 2013 with the aim of establishing a mechanism to measure the quality of services and products offered by hotel establishments. This mechanism was a result of benchmarking and was adopted as part of efforts to review and develop standards for the development of the hospitality sector in the emirate of Ajman, he affirmed.
The idea of Ajman Tourism Award 2014 came during the planning for the mystery shoppers' project which necessitated the rewarding of tourism sector partners who highly adhered to the classification standards adopted in Ajman, and those who presented added value for the tourism sector in the emirate, Al Nuaimi clarified.
Yamina Aoucher, the Director of Tourism Licensing and Standards at ATDD, said all hotel installations in Ajman were covered by the mystery shopper project and were therefore included in Ajman Tourism Award 2014.
The categories of the Ajman Tourism Award 2014 are: the best five-star hotel, best four-star hotel, best two-star hotel, best one-star hotel, best superior hotel apartment and best standard hotel apartment, Aoucher said.
Winners of Ajman Tourism Award 2014 will be announced and honoured during the MENA Travel Award ceremony, to be held at Conrad Dubai Hotel on May 7th.
