The tourism businesses across the region nominated for the 2023 North East Tourism Awards have been announced.
The awards, which take place next March, see shortlisted in businesses in 16 categories ranging from pub of the year to accessible and inclusive tourism award. There were more than 160 entries for the upcoming awards, with more than half coming from businesses who were entering for the first time.
And organisers of the ceremony at the Newcastle Gateshead Initiative are hoping that it will be the best one yet, as the awards celebrate their 20th anniversary.
