But don’t just believe us, here is what some recent winners say:

“I would encourage you to take time to enter your establishment in the South West Tourism Awards as it is a huge tool to making your team even stronger and positive, giving them a ‘common goal’ to work towards and also raises your profile greatly in the tourism industry.  The process of entering awards is helpful to any tourism business. It focuses the organisation’s attention on what its staff and volunteers do well, and where improvements can be made.”  Julie Baugh, General Manager, Thurlestone Hotel 

“… winning the county and regional award has given our marketing efforts a real boost…  Interestingly, we have also seen a massive jump in the number of bookings from abroad and in particular Germany.  An unexpected benefit was that the process of reflection revealed areas needing development which for us, meant creating a much more useable accessibility statement.” Adam Millward, The Somerville, Torquay

“I would say that if you are proud of what you offer and would like to be a beacon of excellence in the South West then I would encourage you to take the time to enter your property into the South West Tourism Awards, and if you do not at first succeed, try try again, our experience was so positive.”  Sue Williams, General Manager, Gidleigh Park
