Visit Worcestershire is delighted to announce the launch of this year’s Tourism Awards for Excellence 2019.
The awards aim to recognise the thriving tourism industry in the region, putting a spotlight on Worcestershire and why it is a great place to visit, work and live.
Previous winners have included Churchfields Saltworks, Worcestershire County Cricket Club, Broadway Arts Festival and Croome Cuisine.
This year, Visit Worcestershire is pleased to reveal the seven categories that local tourism businesses are able to enter:
- B&B and Guest House of the Year
- Best Eating Out Experience
- Camping, Glamping, Self-Catering and Holiday Park of the Year
- Hotel of the Year
- Pub of the Year
- Visitor Attraction of the Year
Entries to the awards opened on Monday 8 July, and hopefuls have until Monday 12 August at 3.00pm to submit their award-winning applications. If your application is successful, finalists must be available for judging between August-September.
After the shortlisted businesses for 2019 are announced in early September, they will then be invited to an opulent afternoon affair on Tuesday 29 October, awarding the best of tourism businesses in the county surrounded by the elegant setting of the Chateau Impney, Droitwich.
Visit Worcestershire is thrilled to share that Hursty is this year’s compère who will host the ceremony and announce the 2019 winners and runners up. Attendees will also be able to take part in a raffle to raise funds for this year’s charity partner, Cash for Kids.
