September 2022 – Congratulations to the Services for Tourism Awards who have once again maintained their Outstanding accreditations for: The Beautiful South Tourism Awards, Bristol Bath and Somerset Tourism Awards, Cornwall Tourism Awards, Devon Tourism Awards, Dorset Tourism Awards and South West Tourism Awards. As one of the first award schemes to gain accreditation status with the Awards Trust Mark, we are proud to see their continued excellence in an industry rocked by recent world events. All their award processes are robust and transparent, focusing on continuity and fairness across the tourism industry. 

 As a testament to the work they have conducted, here are just a few comments from entrants and judges who kindly shared their feedback with us:

“I have been in other awards and this is definitely the best by a long way. Not only are they extremely efficient and organised, they go beyond the expected with lots of very useful graded feedback which has made my business excel even more.” – Entrant

“…The most important result has been the improvement in customer satisfaction, repeat business & customer feedback, especially on review sites such as TripAdvisor. It has given customers the confidence to book which was especially important during the difficult Covid period and throughout this year’s economic difficulties.” – Entrant

“Having once been an entrant in these awards many moons ago,  I wondered at the time what went on ‘behind the scenes’ and hoped the judges were fair. I can categorically assure any entrant to these awards that the judging is scrupulously fair. The panel is made up of professionals within the industry, often with decades of hands-on experience in the same or similar tourism fields.” – Judge 

“The support and training has been excellent at every stage and both the judges the participants have found the awards a positive experience.” – Judge
