Beautiful South Awards Winners Revealed
 

Tourism businesses from across the South East came together to celebrate at the prestigious Grand Hotel, Brighton. 260 guests attended the event, hosted with trademark energy and warmth by Toby Anstis, the much-loved presenter of Heart Dance Breakfast.

A total of 72 awards were presented, recognising excellence across accommodation, food and drink, attractions, experiences, events, visitor information, unsung heroes, wedding and business venues, as well as dog-friendly, sustainable and accessible businesses. In addition, a Special Recognition Award was given to the team at Fresco DeliKafessen, in Guildford, for their exceptional and sustained engagement with the Beautiful South Tourism Awards and their local community.
 

Fran Downton, Chief Executive of Tourism South East, said, “Congratulations to all of last night’s winners and thank you to all our sponsors and supporters. It was a pleasure to celebrate the hard work, professionalism and commitment across our region. The South East continues to set a high bar, and everyone recognised should feel incredibly proud.”

What the winners say;

​

"Being recognised by Beautiful South means a great deal to us. It’s a testament to the passion and hard work of our whole team, who consistently go above and beyond to create meaningful, experience-led stays. We’re honoured to be included alongside so many inspiring businesses - still hard to believe it's real :-)"

​

Thank you for an incredible evening, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. It also helped we picked up gold 😜.

It’s amazing to celebrate those setting the standard in the tourism industry, and it’s an honour to be in that class, especially in the current economic climate."
