Western Hospitality Award Given to Caesar Ramos-Tzompa

The Jackson Hole Chamber of Commerce Membership Committee is pleased to announce that Caesar Ramos-Tzompa of The Rustic Inn has been presented the Western Hospitality Award.

Cesar will receive an adventure package from Grand Teton Lodge Company as well as a photo package from Judge Roy Bean’s Old Time Photos and Weddings.

Mitzi M. of Pardeeville, Wisconsin nominated Caesar for the Western Hospitality Award. Mitzi and her daughter had become lost after a long adventure in Yellowstone National Park. It was long past dark and Mitzi had been unable to make contact with the lodging property she had reserved in Teton Village. Hungry and tired, Mitzi and her daughter stopped in at The Rustic Inn to seek directions. Cesar took time to contact the lodging property and to confirm Mitzi’s reservation. Mitzi said, “Once he reached our hotel and confirmed our room, he gave us a regional map and clearly marked out the route to our hotel.” She concluded, “He was so kind and considerate. He made a hectic evening seem so much better.”

For more information or to make a nomination for the Western Hospitality Award, please contact Mary Haworth, Membership Manager, mary@jacksonholechamber.com or 307.733.3316x20.
