Carnival rakes in excellence awards
Carnival City has been rated tops in a survey by Professional Management Review (PMR), a national publication for business executives and decision-makers.
At the recent awards ceremony for the Ekurhuleni region, Carnival City received Diamond Arrow Awards in the categories Business Sector Casinos/Entertainment Centres, and Business Sector Companies/Institutions held in high esteem as good corporate citizens.
A Diamond Arrow Award is the highest accolade that can be achieved by companies in these categories.
Survey respondents, who included government officials and corporate representatives, including CEOs, business owners and directors based in Ekurhuleni, rated Carnival City highly across all indicators.
In the survey, companies and institutions were rated against the following criteria:
* Companies/institutions that have done most to enhance economic growth and development of the province
* Levels of managerial expertise.
* Implementation of corporate governance.
* Brand awareness.
* Levels of innovation.
The purpose of the survey is to profile Ekurhuleni as a growth point, potential investment area and tourism and business destination for local and international investors.
It also serves to measure companies, institutions, government entities and individuals on their contribution to economic growth and development of the province.
“The purpose of the awards is to celebrate excellence,” said Johan Hattingh, CEO of PMR Africa.
“Through the awards, we can set a bench mark for others to aspire to.
“The awards programme also provides an opportunity for companies and institutions to recognise teams or divisions for all their hard work.
“After all, there is a successful team behind each successful and highly-rated enterprise.”
Carnival City was delighted to be acknowledged.
“That we received such an excellent rating, based on the perceptions of PMR’s professional readership, is a great source of pride,” said Michelle Smith, the resort’s marketing manager.
“The award bears testimony to our employees’ commitment to service excellence, quality, professionalism and innovation.
“As ambassadors, living out the values of Sun International, they have helped to build Carnival City into a respected brand and preferred leisure and entertainment destination.
“We are focused on continually improving and raising the bar to ensure that Carnival City remains a respected corporate citizen and a premium-rated destination.”
