DMB - Tourism Awards 2025

24 September 2025

As proud sponsor of the Impact Support Category, Resort Dorset is excited to celebrate the incredible finalists announced for the 2025 Bournemouth, Christchurch & Poole (BCP) DMB Tourism Awards.

This year’s shortlist reflects the strength, creativity and resilience of our region’s tourism and hospitality sector, with businesses and individuals who are raising the bar for visitor experiences across Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole.

Tourist Attractions

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.

Bournemouth Attractions

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.

Dorset Tourism Support

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.
