Why enter the Cumbria Tourism Awards?
The Cumbria Tourism Awards celebrate 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 so they are well worth the recognition!
The awards generate a lot of great PR for the winners and entrants, with coverage in regional and national publications. We're not looking for the biggest business but one which offers something outstanding in terms of quality and service and who are doing something really special for Cumbria.
Award Categories
There is an award category to suit all Cumbria's vast and diverse range of tourism businesses. The categories recognise the high standards of quality and excellence offered across Cumbria's vast range of tourism businesses. Winning businesses have to demonstrate excellence and innovation throughout their business, including their product, welcome, service, marketing and sustainable practices. The Sheila Hensman Award recognises the outstanding contribution to customer service offered by an individual employee or business owner.
