The Crescent City Eclipse Awards honors the people who make New Orleans’ hospitality industry – the bellmen, servers, tour guides, housekeepers, kitchen staff, drivers and other workers who make our city shine. These individuals have shown a deep sense of pride for the work they do in their companies and the industry.
The inaugural awards will be presented next year at a red carpet event hosted by the New Orleans Convention and Visitors Bureau. Please consider nominating an employee and recognize them for their exceptional service, exemplary performance and commitment to advancing the hospitality and tourism industry.
