Bluesoup sponsors the South West Tourism Awards

At Bluesoup, our business values are all about supporting the travel and tourism industry, and what better way to show further continued support for our region than sponsoring its biggest prestigious event in recognition of the local industry’s achievements?

We’re proud to have sponsored the 'Large Visitor Attraction of the Year' category of the South West Tourism Awards 2024, which took place on the 14^th of March 2024. With our sponsorship, we helped support an award that recognises large visitor attractions that provide truly memorable visitor experiences and demonstrate excellence across every aspect of the business.

We were proud to be sponsors of the South West Tourism Award and greatly enjoyed the ceremony, where we supported like-minded businesses and celebrated excellence in all its forms in the South West.
