… these are all essential in building a reputation not only for individuals and businesses, but for our region as a whole.

Cumbria Tourism Awards are all about celebrating the best of Cumbria's tourism businesses and the talented individuals behind them.  Their hard work and dedication drive an economy worth over £1 billion.  Worth the recognition?

The People Awards

Cumbria's visitor economy supports over 36,000 people and these categories recognise their outstanding achievement, loyalty and dedication, whilst promoting tourism as a challenging, rewarding and exciting career.  They also recognise those businesses who have invested in staff training and skills development.

Winning individuals and teams in the People Awards will receive a cheque for £200, an engraved award and framed certificate.

The Business Awards

The business categories recognise the high standards of quality and excellence offered across Cumbria's vast range of tourism businesses.  Winners have to demonstrate excellence and innovation throughout their business, including their product, welcome, service, marketing and sustainable practices.

Winning businesses were presented with an engraved award and framed certificate. These winners will represent Cumbria at England's Northwest Tourism Awards in 2008.
