The finalists have been announced for this year’s Cornwall Tourism Awards, which will be presented in Truro Cathedral on November 7.
Sixty finalists have been selected, though in some categories none are named in advance so as to keep a few surprises for the big night. A further two special awards will also announced.
The annual competition is now in its 23rd year, with changes every year to categories and criteria, reflecting the constant innovation and reinvention across the industry.
The awards will be presented at a glittering ceremony in Truro Cathedral on November 7, with Gold winners in matching categories nominated to represent Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly in the national Visit England Awards next year.
Chair of Judging Natalie Semley, a senior lecturer in sustainable tourism management at Falmouth University, said: “The Cornwall entrants have once again raised the bar by delivering excellence, creating an inclusive and accessible experience for visitors, and reinforcing Cornwall’s commitment to sustainability – by allowing places to thrive, and communities to be activated through their individual and collective actions.”
Awards organiser Robin Barker of Services for Tourism commented: “I am blown away by the resilience of these businesses, not just continuing to operate in these difficult times but continuing to excel, invest and innovate.”
