The Dorset Tourism Awards provide a fantastic opportunity for tourism and hospitality businesses in Dorset to get recognition for their achievements and share their success with customers.

They’re also a valuable marketing tool. Being able to show that you are an award-winning business helps build trust with potential visitors and sets you apart from the competition. These awards could also be the start of your journey to national recognition, as winners in certain categories (for the ones shown with VE here) are automatically forwarded to compete in the national VisitEngland Awards for Excellence.

Whether you’re offering outstanding accommodation, memorable experiences, amazing attractions, fantastic food and drink or leading the way in sustainability, accessibility or customer service you will find a category for you.

They are free to enter and you can enter as many as you like, just make sure to check that you are eligible. You will find the criteria on the entry forms.
