PROVIDENCALES, Turks and Caicos Islands: Monday, March 1st, 2010 – The Turks and Caicos Hotel and Tourism Association hosted its second annual Star Award Show at the Beaches Resort & Spa on Thursday February 25th.

The Star Award Show is an annual event that recognises and celebrates the contributions of those in the hospitality industry through awards in select areas and categories. This year there were 15 categories in total, including the Lifetime Achievement Award which is awarded to an individual who over their lifetime has made a significant difference in the industry and has contributed great accomplishments in the Turks and Caicos Islands. An additional category was added to the line up this year; that of Entertainer of the Year. This title celebrates a person or group displaying the greatest expertise in all aspects of the entertainment field.

Some of the winners were selected by an independent group of judges based on how best suited the nominee was to the criteria outlined for each category. This year the members of the TCHTA were involved in the selection of winners for Hotel; Hotelier and Entertainer of the Year, with the TCHTA Board Members selecting the Lifetime Achievement Award recipient.
