Treasure Trails Devon Wins Gold!

24/11/2010

Treasure Trails Devon are celebrating after winning the Gold Award for the Best Tourism Experience and Activity in the inaugural 2010 Visit Devon Tourism Awards.  The Devon Team were pitched against hundreds of other attractions and activity providers throughout Devon, and are delighted to have won this award amongst some very stiff competition. The winners were announced at a glittering awards ceremony at the Thurlestone Hotel in Kingsbridge, hosted by BBC Radio Devon’s Judi Spiers.

 

 Judy Spiers presenting the Gold Award for Best Tourism Experience & Activity to Rod and Sandy Tilke of Treasure Trails Devon, with Rosie Bale from Visit Devon and Rob Sheard from award sponsors Hotel Perfect.

Sandy & Rod Tilke of Treasure Trails Devon, said, “We are absolutely thrilled to receive the Gold Award in these prestigious Tourism Awards, which recognises the very best within the Tourism Industry. We are extremely proud to achieve such recognition, especially as our trailers are always telling us what a great time they have exploring Devon with our Treasure Trails.”

“Ensuring that our customers receive the very best possible experience that Treasure Trails can offer is paramount to our core business ethos,” continued Sandy. “This is proven time and time again by the glowing feedback that we regularly receive from our customers, many of whom come back to us to repeat this experience or spread the word to family and friends.”

“Our growing army of Treasure Trails fans is spreading at an incredible rate and is doubling year on year, with an estimated 20,000+ people out trailing in Devon all year round.  To see such an increase in trailers is fantastic, especially during an uncertain economic climate and with recent unpredictable weather. In fact, we believe that both these negative elements have contributed to our increasing popularity as our trailers take advantage of what we call the “Daycation” effect – enjoying fun days out with family and friends that don’t cost the earth.”

Rosie Bates, General Manager of Visit Devon said, "It’s fantastic to have the opportunity to recognise Devon’s outstanding tourism businesses, we would like to congratulate all the winners and finalists on their achievement, they truly are exemplars of what Devon has to offer to visitors from near and far.  As these are the inaugural Visit Devon Tourism Awards we have been really pleased with the response from the industry to get involved and we look forward to running many more successful awards programmes in the future.
