THE nominations are in and now the voting begins to find the Oxfordshire Cotswolds' Tourism Superstar of 2013.
West Oxfordshire District Council, in partnership with VisitEngland and the Witney Gazette, launched the competition last month. It is the first area in the country to replicate at a local level VisitEngland’s annual search for England’s Tourism Superstar.
Businesses were asked to nominate someone who is welcoming, friendly and passionate about their work in the district’s tourism industry and 10 people, working in a variety of roles, were put forward.
District councillor Richard Langridge, the council's cabinet member for local economy, communities and culture, said: “The Tourism Superstar award is a great way to recognise the people who make the success happen. “They truly are superstars of our district and we want to recognise our champions.”
