If your question isn't answered below, please contact us - the chances are that someone else is wondering the same thing! Our team is happy to help.
If I win a mid wales tourism award will I automatically go forward to the national visit wales awards?
Not automatically. The Mid Wales Tourism Awards have a number of different categories to showcase the breadth of quality businesses operating across the region and allow smaller businesses to compete at regional level.
For example, we have an award for 'Best Place to Eat & Drink' that is open to smaller cafes, tea rooms, etc, and we have a separate award for 'Best Restaurant.' In instances such as this, where Visit Wales do not have the same sub categories, our judges will select one overall winner to represent the region at the national awards.
Please ask us if you are unsure about anything.

will site visits be undertaken?
Not automatically, no.
If there is a split decision amongst our judges then mystery site visits may be undertaken in August/early Sept at not cost to you.
All entrants should also be aware that mystery calls/emails may be made as part of the evaluation process to assess customer service. We suggest you let your staff know about this.

Entries for all other categories (with the exception of the Rising Star Award), can only be entered by individual businesses/organisations, not by a booking/marketing or management agency acting on their behalf.
If you're an agency and would like to encourage your businesses/members to apply for an award, please contact us if you would like promotional material to help spread the word.
Agencies are most welcome to sponsor the awards.
