The diversity of what’s on offer locally is inspiring. From the adrenaline of RockReef and South Coast Karting, to the natural beauty of Moors Valley, and the exciting surf experiences at Shaka Surf, these businesses showcase the diversity of attractions that make our destination so special.

Team of the Year
Behind every great visitor experience is a great team, and this year’s finalists are no exception. Congratulations to Bournecoast, Holiday Inn Bournemouth, Fired Up Collective, Adventure Attractions, Marsham Court Hotel, Bournemouth West Cliff Hotel, and Oriel on the Quay. Their dedication, collaboration and passion for hospitality set an incredible standard for the industry. We can’t wait to see our tourism community cheering them on and sharing in their success.

Industry Support
We’re especially proud to shine a light on organisations that support the industry itself, hence our sponsorship of this category. From Harvest Fine Foods and Event Temps, to Bournemouth University Business School and Marsham Court Hotel, these finalists play a vital role behind the scenes, ensuring our local sector thrives.

Across every category, from Rising Star to Industry Leader, this year’s finalists represent the very best of BCP’s tourism industry. Their innovation, passion and commitment are what keep our region firmly on the map as a must-visit destination.

We look forward to celebrating all the finalists at the Gala Awards Ceremony this November, when the winners will be revealed. Congratulations to everyone who made the shortlist; you're a credit to the tourism community, inspiring others and helping to make our region a truly exceptional destination for visitors and locals alike.
