Entries are now open for the 2026 Dorset Tourism Awards, in partnership with the VisitEngland Awards for Excellence, with tourism and hospitality businesses across the county encouraged to take part. Entry is free and submissions close at midnight on 31 May.
Supported by headline sponsor Tomorrows Travel, the awards celebrate excellence across Dorset’s visitor economy.
Jay Thornton, Commercial & Engineering Director at Tomorrows Travel, said, “We’re proud to be the headline sponsor for Dorset Tourism Awards and to recognise the outstanding businesses and individuals who make Dorset such a compelling destination. Celebrating excellence across the tourism industry is vital to strengthening tourism today and building its future for tomorrow.”
The awards are open to businesses of all sizes and offer a range of benefits, including increased visibility, PR opportunities and valuable independent feedback.
Selected winners will go on to compete at the national VisitEngland Awards for Excellence in 2027.
Previous entrants, Bagwell Farm Touring Park, commented, “The process was clear from start to finish and the judges’ feedback was incredibly useful. The awards team were supportive and encouraging throughout.”
