North East England Tourism AwardsEach year the North East England Tourism Awards showcase the best that tourism has to offer in our region.
It's an opportunity for you to achieve both regional and national recognition for the efforts you have put in to UK tourism and sets a benchmark against which the rest of the North East tourism industry can aspire.
The award winners from these regional heats go on to take their place in the Enjoy England Excellence Awards to compete alongside the cream of UK tourism.
Five of our 2009 regional winners have taken part in this year's National Awards and have come home with five awards between them - 1 Gold and 4 Silver!
