The West Midlands Growth Company bought you the West Midlands Tourism Awards 2023!
Following the successes of previous events, we were delighted to launch our third tourism awards for the 2022-23 cycle. We collectively raised a glass to shine a spotlight on the region’s hard-working tourism champions.
The 2023 awards celebrated the successes of tourism businesses across the region and promoted the strength of the business and leisure tourism offer, its venues, people, experiences and accommodation.
The awards served 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 the 2022 Birmingham Commonwealth Games.
Eligible winners from the West Midlands Tourism Awards will automatically feed into the VisitEngland Awards for Excellence 2023 for the chance to be recognised as a national winner.
