Tourism Awards

North East England Tourism Awards 2012

Each year the North East England Tourism Awards showcase the best that tourism has to offer in our region. The wide range of categories reflects the quality, performance and innovation of our tourism sector and gives businesses the chance to showcase their talent and demonstrate how they stand out from the crowd. The awards are an opportunity for you to achieve both regional and national recognition with winners from the regional heats going on to compete alongside the best of UK tourism in the national VisitEngland Awards for Excellence.
