Founded in 1896, the DMCVB is the world’s fi rst convention and visitors bureau. With more than 700 businesses represented, the DMCVB’s mission is to market and sell the Detroit metropolitan region to both business and leisure travelers to maximize economic impact. Tourism is big business in Michigan. In fact, it’s the second largest industry in the state. And we know that everything from a compelling website to a simple hello at the hotel desk counts because fi rst impressions make a big diff erence. As such, the DMCVB recognizes hospitality service excellence since tourism is extremely important to our tri-county region where more than 19 million visitors make their way to metro Detroit annually, spending approximately Cobo Center $6.6 billion every year.

At the DMCVB, we know that stellar service deserves recognition. For that reason, 25 years ago, we created the Recognition of Service Excellence Awards (ROSE) to honor hospitality workers that go above and beyond every single day to deliver a great customer service experience for guests. The ROSE Awards is a special night that allows us to acknowledge and reward those important workers that truly serve as the best ambassadors for Detroit to the world. THE DMCVB’S ROSE AWARDS RECOGNIZES METRO DETROIT FRONT LINE HOSPITALITY EMPLOYEES WHO DEMONSTRATE EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE. THESE INDUSTRY CHAMPIONS SHOWCASE THE REGION’S COMMITMENT TO CREATING A MEMORABLE VISITOR EXPERIENCE. The 25th annual ROSE Awards will truly be a magical event and will take place on Wednesday, Aug. 28 inside the Sound Board theater at the MotorCity Casino Hotel with an expected attendance of more than 550 hospitality professionals. The ROSE Awards is sometimes referred to as Oscar night for the hospitality community. The buildup begins several months ahead as supervisors, clients, visitors and the general public are invited to nominate someone for a ROSE Award. From the nominations, three fi nalists are chosen by a panel of judges in each of six categories: attractions and casinos, hotels, restaurants, transportation, behind the scenes and volunteers. One overall winner is also chosen. At the ROSE Awards event, fi nalists are recognized and winners are selected in each of the six categories. 2018 ROSE AWARDS WINNERS AND FINALISTS The winners were announced at the ROSE Awards ceremony and reception, which was held on Wednesday, Aug. 29, 2018 at the Max M. & Marjorie S. Fisher Music Center. The awards were presented by our mistress of ceremonies, Glenda Lewis with WXYZ, and Larry Alexander, president and CEO of the DMCVB.
