“The Beautiful South Awards are the pinnacle of tourism awards in the south of England.

“Entering these awards, it gives recognition for all the hard work that businesses put in throughout the year.  It brings out the quality and our visitors to the Island are looking for quality product, quality experiences and having these awards, people can use it in their marketing and visitors can understand that they are coming to a quality island with quality products”.
