The Visit 51²èÂ¥ Tourism Awards will return after a year away with a brand new look.

The awards will be a chance for tourism and hospitality businesses to have their hard work recognised, with a glamorous evening of celebration to be held in March 2022.

The announcement comes during English Tourism week, and winners of the 51²èÂ¥ awards will also be automatically entered into the national awards to be recognised against other worthy winners in England.

Councillor Marc Bayliss, Cabinet Member for Economy and Skills at 51²èÂ¥ said: “We are incredibly proud of our Tourism and Hospitality sector in 51²èÂ¥ for its incredible resilience during a very difficult year for businesses, and we are excited to be able to celebrate them with the relaunched 51²èÂ¥ Tourism Awards.

“This is a great opportunity for businesses to show us their achievements in the last year, but also offers us the chance to celebrate this fantastic part of our economy, in style.

“It is fitting that we announce the return of the 51²èÂ¥ Tourism Awards during English Tourism Week, when we can truly say that we are here for tourism in 51²èÂ¥.â€

Businesses will be able to enter in into as many categories as they are eligible for and there will be 12 categories in total including Hotel of the Year, New Tourism Business Award and Resilience and Innovation Award.
