In South East England we love to celebrate tourism excellence. On one hand it's very easy to do, as we have such an outstanding array of businesses that fit the bill! On the other hand, there are too many amazing businesses across the destination to acknowledge them all!
Each year the Beautiful South Awards celebrates the cream of the South East’s tourism industry, awarding Gold, Silver, Bronze across the tourism industry in recognition for the work undertaken over the past year. This year seems more poignant than ever, with the backdrop of Covid-19 pandemic and the difficult circumstances and the incredible lengths South East tourism businesses have gone to.
