FIRMS that showcase the best that Cheshire has to offer will be celebrated in the stunning surroundings of Chester Cathedral at the Marketing Cheshire Tourism Awards 2023/24.
Split into 16 categories, the awards recognise excellence and outstanding achievement in the region's visitor economy and give accommodation providers, eateries and much-loved attractions the chance to show why they are a must-visit.
Individuals and businesses are urged to make sure that they enter the awards by the September 1 deadline, to stand a chance of taking home one of the prestigious prizes.
A perfect venue
Confirming Chester Cathedral, a Grade 1-listed architectural gem founded over 1,000 years ago and itself a hugely popular visitor attraction, will be hosting the much-anticipated final on March 21, Dean of Chester, the Very Revd Dr Tim Stratford said: "I’m delighted that Chester Cathedral will be hosting the Marketing Cheshire Tourism Awards 2023/24.
"These awards are a magnificent initiative that help to place Cheshire firmly on the national and international stage, and it’s wonderful that the Cathedral can help play its part in awarding and celebrating the enormous hard work, effort and innovation that takes place day-to-day in Cheshire’s visitor economy."
Organised by Marketing Cheshire, the awards highlight just why the region’s tourism sector is among the nation’s finest and visitor economy businesses entering also have the chance to enter the VisitEngland Awards For Excellence and showcase themselves on a national stage.
Trevor Brocklebank, Chair of Marketing Cheshire and Deputy Chair of Cheshire and Warrington Local Enterprise Partnership said: "It is fantastic that Chester Cathedral, itself a gem of our visitor economy, will provide a stunning and prestigious stage to host the awards which are a wonderful reminder of the brilliant work that goes into the visitor economy which contributes greatly to the region’s prosperity.
