May 2023 – VisitEngland Awards for Excellence. Once again the VisitEngland Awards for Excellence have re-accredited their prestigious awards. Eligible winners from the local and regional tourism awards are forwarded to the national awards where they are celebrated amongst their peers. We were particularly impressed with the shortlisting process, which saw applications reviewed by an expert panel, including: journalists, industry body representatives, industry specialists, consultants, a member of the VisitEngland Advisory Board and a VisitEngland/ VisitBritain Director or topic specialist!

No charge is made for the use of logos or the promotion of a win. In-fact they provide access to a free toolkit that gives tips and advice on how best to achieve PR from their awards success – an example of best practice that other organisers may want to follow.
