Nottinghamshire Tourism Awards

Organised by Visit Nottinghamshire, The Nottinghamshire Tourism Awards 2024/25, formerly known as the STARS Awards, are an event celebrating excellence across Nottingham and Nottinghamshire's tourism, leisure, culture, and hospitality sectors.

These awards serve as a platform to showcase best practices and acknowledge the organisations and individuals making significant contributions to the region's tourism industry. From B&Bs and major tourist attractions to city centre hotels and business event venues, the diverse award categories reflect the breadth of Nottinghamshire’s tourism landscape.

The awards provide both winners and shortlisted businesses with a platform to promote their business and aim to inspire the thousands of people who work in tourism in Nottinghamshire to achieve their very best.

There are 14 awards categories in total covering different aspects of the tourism industry, ranging from hotels, B&Bs and campsites to pubs, visitor attractions, unique experiences, and the hardworking people behind the businesses. 

The winners of the first 13 categories will also have the opportunity to be put forward to the national VisitEngland Awards for Excellence and are in with a chance of winning national recognition.

For 2025 we have partnered with Visit Peak District, Derbyshire, and Derby on a joint awards ceremony taking place on 20th March 2025 at the East Midlands Conference Centre. Showcase your business and products to 500 visitor economy business leaders, influencers and businesses joining us at the awards ceremony next year.
