AWARDS will be presented this spring to the very best hotels, restaurants and attractions Leicester has to offer its residents and visitors alike.
Among the accolades up for grabs on February 7 are Best Tourism Event in Leicester and Leicestershire, Best Large and Small Hotel and the Outstanding Customer Service Award.
Winning businesses and venues on the day at the National Space Centre, in Exploration Drive, will qualify to represent Leicester on a national scale in this special Olympic year.
Martin Peters, Chief Executive of Leicester Shire Promotions, said: “The new awards for Leicester and Leicestershire will allow local tourism businesses to demonstrate their excellence and by winning the local awards, they will go on to compete against the cream of England’s tourism sector in the VisitEngland national awards later in 2012.”
