In one of the longest-running award seasons ever, the finalists for the South West Tourism Awards 2020/21 have been announced.

75 Finalists and 33 Commended have been named in this year’s regional Tourism Awards, which saw 416 entries from across Devon, Cornwall, the Isles of Scilly, Bath, Bristol, Somerset, Dorset, Wiltshire and Gloucestershire.

The awards will be presented online on April 22, with a prior ‘Meet The Finalist’ event on April 13 when finalists and sponsors get the chance to share in their news and plans.

Up to five finalists have been announced in each category, but all will have to wait until April to learn whether they have won Gold, Silver or Bronze awards.

Here are all the Cornish businesses that have either been selected as finalists or commended as well as the categories they're entered into.
