The Hotel Association of Tenerife, La Palma, La Gomera, and El Hierro (Ashotel) recently held its annual gala, honoring 86 professionals from its member establishments for their dedication and consistent hard work. The event brought together representatives from the tourism sector, institutions, and businesses to highlight the value of personnel in the hospitality industry.

Also present were Dimple Melwani, CEO of Turismo de Tenerife, members of Ashotel’s Board of Directors, union representatives, and other industry stakeholders.

In his speech, Jorge Marichal emphasized the key role employees play in the success of the Canary Islands’ tourism industry. “You are a fundamental part of our sector.

The event concluded with the presentation of commemorative plaques to the honorees, which were handed out by hotel and institutional representatives.
