Hotel Scoops Prize at Devon Tourism Award Ceremony
The Best Western Tiverton Hotel, Tiverton, won the prestigious Silver Business Tourism Award at the Devon Tourism Awards 2012.
The category, sponsored by Meet Devon, recognises quality tourism businesses aimed at the corporate or weddings sector. The Best Western Tiverton hotel boasts a significant customer base combining leisure, business and wedding guests.
Hotel director and Best Western chairman and board member Rhys Roberts said, “We are honoured to have been chosen for the Business Tourism Award and recognised for our services to this sector. The hotel prides itself on its business and wedding facilities and each member of staff will ensure the continued success of this venue.”
There are now 12 categories in the Devon Tourism Awards, which has grown in stature since it was first launched in 2010, to celebrate the cream of the Devon tourism industry. More businesses have applied for the competition than ever before with 37 finalists selected.
The best business will then be selected from the 12 categories for the coveted Winner of Winners Award. The winners will be announced at a spectacular Awards Ceremony, which will be hosted by BBC Radio Devon’s Judy Spiers on 22 November at the Saunton Sands Hotel in North Devon.
Awards programme organiser Robin Barker says “The Tiverton is more than a conference venue; it’s become the go-to event destination when you want to attract delegates from across the South West”.
Best Western is the largest group of independently owned hotels within the UK with over 280 hotels across the country. Each hotel is individually managed but must meet strict criteria in order to become a member.
