Swansea Bay Tourism Awards 2024
Celebrating Excellence in Swansea Bay’s Tourism Industry
The Swansea Bay Tourism Awards are returning in 2024, marking a celebratory milestone in the region’s vibrant tourism sector.
The awards signal a renewed commitment to recognising and rewarding excellence in the tourism industry.
Tourism Swansea Bay, supported by Swansea Council and Neath Port Talbot Council and Welsh Government, will run the awards.
This year’s winners from the regional awards will have the prestigious opportunity to advance to the Visit Wales National Tourism Awards for Wales in Spring 2025, representing the very best of Swansea Bay on a national stage.
The 2024 awards feature twelve categories, providing a comprehensive showcase of the region’s diverse and high-quality tourism offerings.
All businesses, big and small, are invited to submit an application for consideration. Applications are now open and will remain open until the Sunday 18th of August.
This year, the awards will follow a different format with a presentation ceremony on 22 October in Swansea’s Guildhall, including refreshments and a networking opportunity. The Swansea Bay Tourism Awards will return to the black-tie gala style in 2026, promising an even more spectacular celebration.
