Three caravan parks in the north of England are all in the running for a prestigious tourism prize after being shortlisted in the VisitEngland Awards for Excellence 2012.
Park Cliffe Caravan & Camping Estate in Cumbria and Seafield Caravan Park in Northumberland will both compete alongside three other holiday parks for the Caravan Holiday Park/Holliday Village of the Year award.
Meanwhile, the Robin Hood Camping & Caravan Park in Yorkshire is hoping to pick up an award after being named a finalist in the Outstanding Customer Service category.
A total of 62 entrants have been shortlisted from 392 nominations and the judging panel are now setting about the tough task of picking the ultimate winners.
Competition is tough and the English tourist board has praised the exceptionally high level of entries this year, but come May 22nd the caravan parks will learn if they have been crowned overall winner in their category at a glittering ceremony in Leicester’s Athena venue.
Commenting on the awards, judge and director of business development at VisitEngland, Jeremy Brinkworth, said that there have been more entrants than ever in 2012 and the quality and diversity is “truly inspiring”.
“All the finalists should be extremely proud of their contribution both to their local area and to the industry as a whole, and it is very satisfying to reward their hard work and dedication,” he added.
