Awards for the crème de la
crème of Wirral tourism
WIRRAL'S tourism heroes were celebrated
at the sector's annual awards ceremony that took place on Thursday, 14 April
2016.
More than 200 tourism professionals, including those from the Wirral Visitor
Economy Network (WVEN), gathered at New Brighton's Floral Pavilion Theatre and
Conference Centre for the prestigious Wirral Tourism Awards.
The Awards reflect the very best of Wirral's tourism sector, recognising the
quality, achievements and continuous hard work of the individuals and teams
behind the success.
Mayor of Wirral, Cllr Les Rowlands, was guest of honour at the ceremony and
said:- "I'd like to congratulate all of the businesses and staff, from
over 450 nominations this year, who were finalists for the awards. Just being
nominated shows how highly valued they are by their customers. The Wirral
Tourism Awards once again reinforced the great work businesses in this sector do
on behalf of the borough and the positive impression they make on local people
and visitors alike."
Big winners on the night included Shore Cottage Studio on Thurstaston beach and
a number of New Brighton businesses.
Indeed, the Outstanding Contribution to Wirral Tourism award was given to
Promenade Estates (Wirral), who were formerly known as Neptune Developments, who
played a major role in the regeneration of New Brighton over the last 10 years.
