English Riviera Tourism Awards

Welcome to the English Riviera Tourism Awards, exclusively for businesses in the English Riviera BID area.

With this new scheme English Riviera tourism businesses now have their own awards, linking in with and avoiding duplication with the Devon, South West and VisitEngland Awards. Any Torbay business paying the English Riviera BID Levy is entitled to enter the English Riviera BID Awards. With the new scheme you only need to enter once, and are then automatically considered for success at county, regional and national level.

‘Winning awards can generate huge media interest’ said Tim Godfrey, Chairman of the ERBID Company ‘and we are delighted to be part of this new exciting project that will allow the English Riviera to further raise its profile and celebrate all the great tourism businesses we have operating across the resort.’

The inaugural Awards Dinner, sponsored by Wollens, was held at The Imperial Hotel in Torquay on 3rd October.
