The 14th of May saw the Annual ‘Cornwall Tourism Awards Sponsor Lunch’, when 42 sponsors and award winners gathered at the stunning Carbis Bay Hotel and Spa to share in celebrations, network and savour a fine lunch. Amongst the guests were the 4 Cornwall businesses that went all the way in 2017/8, winning in Cornwall, the South West and then going on to national success in the VisitEngland Awards.
Sponsors ranged from solicitors, marketing companies and accountants to attractions, distribution companies and IT businesses, all benefitting from contact with the industries they serve and a range of sponsor benefits.
“ It’s hard to imagine a more perfect day than this. Enjoying fine Cornish wine and locally sourced food in the company of 40+ of Cornwall’s top tourism businesses and tourism supporters, all in an idyllic setting with an inspiring project about to come to fruition. Wonderful!”
– Robin Barker, Director of Cornwall Tourism Awards
