Ruth Connor, chief executive of Marketing Lancashire said “The quality of applications for the tourism awards never fails to impress and this year the judges have a real challenge deciding on the winners in each category.

“Lancashire has seen consistent growth in visitor numbers over the last six years and these visitors are now spending more in the county, making a £3.68billion contribution to Lancashire’s economy.

“The visitor economy is vital to Lancashire success and each year the Lancashire Tourism Awards is our way of celebrating the huge effort and investment made by our industry colleagues across the board.”

Finalists will be invited to an interview by the judging panel during the week of October 12, when each business will have the opportunity to discuss their application in more detail.
