The Destination Lincolnshire Tourism Awards are an annual celebration of excellence in the tourism and hospitality industry in Lincolnshire and play an important role in recognising and promoting the exceptional attractions, places to stay, places to eat and drink, and experiences that the county has to offer. The awards, organised by Stonebow Media, were held at The Engine Shed in Lincoln again this year; and the night was full of glitz, glamour and jubilant award-goers.
The Awards have become a prestigious event for businesses in the region, and are designed to acknowledge the hard work, innovation, and dedication of those who contribute to tourism in Lincolnshire. They cover a wide range of categories, from Best B&B and Guest House of the Year to Best Restaurant to The Ethical, Responsible and Sustainable Tourism Award, showcasing the diverse and quality offerings that make Lincolnshire a great place to visit.
Winning a Lincolnshire Tourism Award is a significant achievement and a true testament to the hard work of each and every business nominated. It not only brings recognition and prestige to the winners but also acts as a platform for further growth and success as these awards serve as a pathway to entry into the hugely respected VisitEngland national awards.
Out of the 14 Lincolnshire categories, 12 now go through to the VisitEngland 2024 Awards for Excellence – and these businesses will now have the opportunity to represent Lincolnshire nationally as their applications are automatically put forward for consideration by the England judges.
