The Tourism Awards are again open for entry across the South East and South West, including the county schemes for Dorset, Devon, Bristol, Bath and Somerset and Cornwall.  In 2022, 17 of the 45 national VisitEngland finalists came from these two regions – a record the organisers are hoping to match!

This year’s new Awards see some changes from the past two years with:

• A return to a June deadline (19 June) – enabling judging visits to be scheduled during the summer
• Face to face awards events in the autumn and winter.

The schemes now open for entry are:

• South east / Beautiful south (covering Hampshire, Isle of Wight, Sussex, Kent, Surrey, Berks, Bucks and Oxfordshire) 
• South west (including Wiltshire and Gloucestershire)
• Bristol, Bath and Somerset 
• Cornwall and Isles of Scilly 
• Devon 
• Dorset 

The home pages of all of the links above provide all that businesses need in order to take part.  Entry is FREE across the South West, and up to three entries are free in the South East to members of Tourism South East.  Judging is independent and all entrants receive free feedback.
