Ribble Valley Stars in Tourism Awards 2020

Like many events over the last year, the Ribble Valley Tourism Awards have had to adapt and do things slightly differently. However, the celebration and enthusiasm for Ribble Valley’s wealth of tourism talent and innovation remains as present as ever, and great joy was had in handing out this year’s awards.

This year has brought challenges like no other to our local businesses. Pure resourcefulness, creativity and hard work have seen individuals and teams find ways to meet this year’s challenges head on. I would like to thank everyone for taking part and to Harrison Drury for their generous sponsorship.

I would also like to congratulate all the award winners. Looking forward to a collectively bright future in local tourism, this year’s Ribble Valley Tourism Awards recognise all the hard work and high quality across the board, that make Ribble Valley such a special place to live and visit.

Amanda Dowson, Chair, Ribble Valley Tourism Association.
