Tourism businesses from across Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly have submitted 151 completed entries to the 2026 Cornwall Tourism Awards. The total marks another strong year for the awards as they celebrate their 25th anniversary.
Entries have been received from businesses across the visitor economy, including accommodation providers, attractions, restaurants, experiences and events.
Robin Barker, Awards Director, said, “The Cornwall and Isles of Scilly tourism industry continues to set exceptionally high standards. It is encouraging to see so many businesses investing time in entering the awards and seeking independent feedback. The awards celebrate not only success, but also the dedication, creativity and hard work that go into delivering memorable visitor experiences across the region.”
Laura Plum, Marketing and Communications Director, from headline sponsor, St Austell Brewery, said, “We’re delighted to see such strong engagement from tourism businesses across Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly, particularly in this milestone year. The strength of our visitor economy lies in the passion, innovation and care shown by those who work in it every day. These awards are a valuable opportunity to recognise businesses that consistently go the extra mile and play such an important role in shaping outstanding experiences for visitors in our region.”
The finalists will be announced later this year, with winners revealed at Truro Cathedral on 12 November.
