Headwaters Tourism announced the nominees for the 2016 Headwaters Tourism Awards that will take place on Dec. 5 at the new Adamo Estate Winery.
This annual evening of celebration honours those tourism businesses and individuals who exemplify excellence, and help profile the Headwaters region as one of Ontario’s premier tourism destinations, and “Where Ontario Gets Real.”
Categories have been modified for 2016 from previous years to reflect the key tourism sectors in the region and to mirror some of the categories at the provincial and national levels.
Nominees located in Erin include:
– Everdale and Landman Gardens and Bakery have been nominated for best fresh and local visitor experience;
– RCMP Musical Ride (Erin Fairgrounds) for best fun and festive visitor experience, best horse and county visitor experience and tourism partnership award;
– Snowberry Botanicals has been nominated for best nature and leisure visitor experience and best newtourism business; and
– Erin resident Susan Powell as nominated for tourism champion of the year.
The evening will conclude with a special presentation of the chairperson’s award of merit by Headwaters Tourism’s board chair, Stacey Coupland, recognizing commitment and passion for our regional tourism community.
Tickets for the 2016 Headwaters Tourism Awards, sponsored by Adamo Estate Winery and Century Wood Products, are $60 each.
