Lancashire Tourism Awards 2021 finalists announced

By Tim Aldred

19 Nov 2021

The finalists for the Lancashire Tourism Awards 2021 have been revealed, with winners in several categories going on to represent the county at the national finals.

The finalists in the 16 categories will now have face-to-face interviews with the Lancashire Tourism Awards expert judging panels on Monday 6 or Tuesday 7 December at Blackburn Rovers. The winners will be announced on Wednesday 2 February 2022, at a location soon to be announced.

Rachel McQueen, chief executive of Marketing Lancashire, said: "This year's finalists have all demonstrated their ability to overcome the challenges of operating through a pandemic, demonstrating a flexible and innovative approach to delivering quality visitor experiences, safely and responsibly.   

"As an industry that thrives on shared experiences, spectacular events, warm hospitality and welcome, we have faced the demands of the last two years in true Lancashire style; our tourism businesses took stock, rolled up their sleeves, and came up with new ways of making things work - which they delivered brilliantly.

"We should be so very proud of what has been achieved and the Lancashire Tourism Awards 2021, will be the sector's opportunity to applaud those achievements together, at last."
