This year’s Dorset Tourism Awards Finalists have been announced following three months of judging by an independent panel of tourism experts.
They are now guaranteed a gold, silver or bronze award, which will be revealed at the Awards ceremony at Marsham Court Hotel, Bournemouth, on Thursday 22 October. A further 13 businesses have been recognised with Commended status.
The Awards celebrate excellence across Dorset’s visitor economy, recognising businesses and individuals across accommodation, attractions, experiences, food and drink and other areas of tourism.
