The Cornwall Tourism Awards 2004 were held on 24th November at St Mellion International Golf, Hotel and Country Club, and were hosted by Sharron Davies.
Over two thousand public nominations and hundreds of entries were received and the Judging Panel certainly had its work cut out. From the initial assessment by sector specialists, a shortlist was drawn up for applicants to go on to the second stage of judging. This involved mystery shopper visits and telephone calls, plus website analysis so that a recommended shortlist could be put forward to the Judging Panel.
