Pocono Honored With Tourism Achievement Award
Image
The Pocono Raceway in Pennsylvania was recently awarded the annual Tourism Achievement Award presented by the Pocono Mountains Visitors Bureau.
The program honors Pocono Mountains hospitality and tourism industry employees, along with member properties, as local tourism heroes for strides in customer service and community involvement. The awards were distributed during the PMVB’s 23rd Annual Tourism Day held on Wednesday (May 10) at Skytop Lodge.
Pocono Raceway was the first sports facility to rely on solar power. The race track and its partners work hard to reduce the impact the races have on the environment, through source reduction, responsible waste management via composting and recycling programs, solar energy generation, charitable giving, food donations, even simply planting trees.
Pocono Raceway is committed to a goal of diverting 75 percent of all waste away from landfills by 2018, and zero landfill waste from its skybox facilities in future seasons. The race track believes that food donations are also a large part of reducing waste, and have donated almost 700 pounds of food in June of 2016 to various groups in the Stroudsburg Area.
Award recipients include: Kyle Kuczma of Cove Haven Entertainment Resorts, for the Outstanding Tourism Employee of the Year Award; Greg Huffman of Bushkill Group, Inc. for the Brand Hero Award; Pocono Raceway for the Green Award for a Large Business; and Keen Lake Camping & Cottage Resort for the Green Award for a Small Business.
