There were two reasons for Newmarket to cheer at the Norfolk and Suffolk Tourism Awards last week as both Bedford Lodge Hotel and Spa and Palace House claimed top honours in their respective categories.
The awards, held at Kesgrave Hall in Suffolk, are a platform to recognise the outstanding contributions to the tourism industry by hotels, attractions, accommodation providers and events.
The timing of these awards is a fantastic boost for tourism in Newmarket as the town gears up for what promises to be an exciting summer with new tours and the chance for visitors to experience the very best that the Home of Horseracing has to offer.
Tracey Harding, Manager of Discover Newmarket:
“The news about Bedford Lodge Hotel and Spa and Palace House winning at the Norfolk and Suffolk Tourism Awards is fantastic! As the town’s official tourism body, Discover Newmarket, knows only too well how important such accolades are in highlighting Newmarket as an all year-round visitor destination.”
“With our revised tours programme and newly launched Visitor Guide being distributed across the country, it bodes well for Newmarket as we get ready to welcome visitors in 2020”
