VisitEngland Director Andrew Stokes said: “These annual Awards are an opportunity to applaud and showcase the businesses and individuals who provide outstanding customer service and continuously improve their products and offer for visitors.”
Robin Barker from the Devon Tourism Awards said: “It was a delight sharing the evening with these fantastic businesses, all of them demonstrating their excellence, sustainability and resilience amongst the country’s best. I was honoured to be there with them.”
