We are delighted to be a winner in two
categories of the Scottish Thistle Regional Tourism Awards and we now go
forward to compete in both categories in the prestigious Thistle Awards final
in March. We were awarded the “Best
Holiday Accommodation” and “Discovering Scotland” awards at the Regional Finals
of the Scottish Thistle Awards held on Friday November 7th at Hampden Park
Glasgow.
The Awards recognize success, excellence
and quality in Scotland’s Tourism Industry across a range of different categories. We beat stiff competition on both Awards but
were particularly delighted for our Sales Manager, Marie McGhee for winning the
“Discovering Scotland” Award, which is
for individuals who go the extra mile in providing an outstanding visitor
experience.
On our tenth anniversary it is very
rewarding to be recognized for the unique experience and individual attention
that we offer all our guests.
David Adams McGilp, VisitScotland Regional
Director said “Argyll and the Isles tourism businesses are certainly leading
the charge when it comes to excellence, and that’s exactly what the Scottish
Thistle Awards is all about; celebrating those who are doing everything they
can to ensure visitors are offered the warmest possible welcome and a
first-class memorable experience”
A total of 670 businesses were nominated
for the Scottish Thistle Awards in 2014 with 555 businesses entering the
regional heats. A panel comprising of
some of the most senior figures in Scottish tourism, as well as Tourism
Ambassadors were responsible for determining the winners in each category.
The Scottish Thistle Awards will form part
of the Signature Programme, part of Scotland Tourism Week 2015, running from
March 3-5. Glasgow will be the hub of
Scotland’s Tourism Industry for three days, showcasing Scotland as an ultimate
destination for food and drink tourism and Scottish hospitality.
