Tourism Awards
Now in its 11th year the Cornwall Tourism Awards recognise and reward the best in tourism across sixteen categories including the new “Taste of Cornwall” award which recognises the hugely important role played by Cornwall’s restaurants, tea rooms, pubs and cafes.
In addition to awarding a bronze, silver and gold award in each of the 16 categories, there are four special awards which recognise outstanding commitment or contribution by individuals or a groups of individuals.
The awards have become one of the most important events in the tourism calendar and in 2011 were presented by Sue Perkins who is well known for her quick wit and humour on both radio and TV, and who recently co-hosted the Great British Bake-Off. Sue is no stranger to Cornwall – she has long been a fan of the county and she currently lives in Penzance.
The Cornwall Tourism Awards follow hot on the heels of the British Travel Awards, where in 2011 Cornwall won gold in three categories. The Eden Project won “Best UK Leisure Attraction”, St Ives won “Best UK Seaside Town” for the second year running, and Cornwall won “Best UK Holiday County or Region” for the third year running.
