West Midlands Tourism Awards 2022

The West Midlands Growth Company brings you the West Midlands Tourism Awards 2022!
 

Following the success of our inaugural event in 2020, we are delighted to re-launch our tourism awards for the 2021-22 cycle. During the most turbulent time in the recent history of the West Midlands’ visitor economy, it is more important than ever to shine a spotlight on the region’s hard-working tourism champions. We hope you can join us as we collectively raise a glass to the sector’s innovation, ingenuity and spirit.

The 2022 awards will celebrate the success and resilience of tourism businesses across the region and promote the strength of the business and leisure tourism offer, its venues, people, experiences and accommodation.

The awards also serve to highlight the importance of tourism’s contribution to the regional economy, which stood at £13.1bn in 2019. Together with our industry partners, we will seek to grow the economic value of tourism during the next decade, using major events including UK City of Culture 2021 in Coventry and the 2022 Birmingham Commonwealth Games as a way to bounce back post C-19.

Eligible winners from the West Midlands Tourism Awards will automatically feed into the VisitEngland Awards for Excellence 2022 for the chance to be recognised as a national winner.
