Award Winners

Organised by VisitBritain, the Enjoy England Awards for Excellence are the annual tourism ‘Oscars’ for English holidays. They promote healthy industry competition and high standards, helping to ensure England's place as a world-class destination.

Shortlisted organisations have previously won regional Tourism Awards and prior to that had come out on top at their sub-regional awards.

England’s Northwest is a consistent winner at the Awards. From foodie gems and unique attractions to magnificent hotels and sustainable B&B’s, with increasingly sophisticated ways of finding out about, and booking, what's on offer, England's Northwest is an exciting world-class tourism destination, in which to discover something new.
