GACRTC Presents Howard Bacharach
1st Annual Tourism Leadership Award

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J., May 21 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Howard
Bacharach, Executive Director of the Atlantic City Hotel & Lodging
Association (ACHLA) has been presented with the 1st Annual Tourism
Leadership Award from the Greater Atlantic City Region Tourism Council
(GACRTC). GACRTC is one of the six state regions as defined by the State of
New Jersey, Division of Travel & Tourism.

    The award was presented at the GACRTC Annual Installation of Officers
Luncheon, held at Cuba Libre at The Quarter in Tropicana Casino and Resort
in Atlantic City. Atlantic County Executive Dennis Levinson installed the
Council Executive Officers, including its new Chairman, Dr. Brian Tyrrell,
of Richard Stockton College of NJ.

    Bacharach was cited for his outstanding contribution to tourism in
Atlantic County, NJ. He joined ACHLA in 2003 as its Executive Director.
Although the Association has deep roots in Atlantic City, beginning over
100 years ago, it was ready to seek a new direction -- and in the past five
years that task has been accomplished, returning ACHLA to prominence in the
Atlantic County region.

    His previous employment included nineteen years with Caesars Atlantic
City, "graduating" in 1997 as its Senior Vice President of
Operations/Administration. Prior to those years, he was employed in
Atlantic City with a certified public accounting firm, auditing many of the
major hotels/motels operating in the South Jersey region. Additionally,
prior to the dawn of casino gaming in Atlantic City, he was an operating
partner with the Atlantic City amusement/entertainment attractions of the
Steel Pier, Million Dollar Pier and Boardwalk Bowl.

    Howard lives in Ventnor City, NJ with his bride of 4 1/2 years, the
former Ronnie Watson.
