“The visitor economy is vital to Lancashire’s success and each year the Lancashire Tourism Awards is our way of celebrating the huge effort and investment made by our industry colleagues across the board.
“I wish all the finalists luck in the next stage of the awards process and look forward to congratulating Lancashire’s best in class at the Winter Gardens in Blackpool on 5 November.”
