Barnstaple based Holiday Company, John Fowler Holidays, has become the first operator in the region to win a finalist award at all three South West Tourism Awards ceremonies held in November 2018. The parks to be recognised in the finals were St Ives Holiday Village in Cornwall, South Bay Holiday Park in Brixham and Sandy Glade Holiday Park in Burnham on Sea.
The parks were the recipients of the following awards:
Ø Finalist in Cornwall Holiday Park of the Year
Ø Finalist in Devon Holiday Park of the Year
Ø Finalist and overall winner in Bristol, Bath & Somerset Holiday Park of the Year
Managing Director, John Martyn Fowler commented:
“We are absolutely delighted. Awards in all three counties! We recently embarked on an ambitious strategy to develop the highest possible quality at our parks, and these awards serve as an endorsement of our talented team of staff who I would like to personally thank for the huge contribution they have made. We are extremely proud of what we have achieved over the last couple of years.”
The award ceremonies took place across the South West starting in the majestic Truro Cathedral for the Cornwall Tourism Awards before moving on to the Apex Hotel in Bath to recognise the best businesses in Bath, Bristol and Somerset and then to the final prestigious event at the High Bullen Hotel, Golf and Country Club near Umberleigh for the Devon Tourism Awards.
The awards themselves were hotly contested with:
Ø A record breaking 651 plus entries across the South West
Ø A rigorous 3 phase judging process carried out by 51 independent expert judges
Ø 377 visits (mainly mystery) made to shortlisted entrants
All successful finalists will be considered for the South West Tourism Excellence Awards to be held at Aerospace Bristol under the last Concorde ever to fly in February of next year.
In 2018, John Fowler Holidays have also been awarded with 3 Trip Advisor Certificates of Excellence, 10 David Bellamy Conservation Awards and a Green Tourism Award. They are hoping to build on this success for 2019 to deliver even more holidaymakers into the South West region to support the prevalent tourism economy.
Sales Director, Cathie Higgs, is proud of what the company has achieved:
“This has been a fantastic year for John Fowler Holidays. Not only have we seen a record level of bookings, we have also been recognised with more awards and accreditations than ever before culminating in our resounding success at the Tourism Awards in Cornwall, Devon and Somerset.”
