Speaking about the awards, Councillor Gareth Lloyd, Ceredigion County Council Cabinet Member responsible tourism said,

“I’d encourage all Ceredigion tourism businesses to nominate themselves for these awards; the effort in entering awards can pay dividends and can be of great benefit to team and staff morale. Of course, being able to say that you’re the ‘Best in Wales’ is also a great marketing boost.” “The quality of what we have to offer here in Ceredigion goes from strength to strength and the Awards are an opportunity for us all to celebrate the industry and to showcase the outstanding quality of our tourism businesses. Let’s put Ceredigion on the map.”

Tourism businesses can nominate themselves or anyone can enter a business which they deem as a worthy winner.
