ANGLESEY TOURISM AWARDS 2009

On Friday, January 30th, 2009 twelve of the Isle of Anglesey's best tourism businesses were given prestigious awards in the Anglesey Tourism Awards, held at the Trearddur Bay Hotel.

The high profile event, organised by the Anglesey Tourism Association, was attended by tourism businesses and officials across the Island and North Wales. Rhun ap Iorwerth, BBC presenter and journalist, hosted the event which included Mr Ieuan Wyn Jones, Deputy First Minister for Wales and Minister for the Economy and Transport, Jonathan Jones, Director of Tourism at Visit Wales and Dewi Davies, Regional Strategy Director for Tourism Partnership North Wales as guest speakers.

The Best Adventure/Activity Operator of the Year was won by Crwydro Môn / Anglesey Walking Holidays. The judges were impressed that Anglesey Walking Holidays' packages are tailored to meet the requirements of its customers and are highly personalised and bilingual. The silver awards were presented to Bull Bay Golf Club and Cartio Môn Karting in Bodedern.  This award was won by them in 2008 as well.

The Use of Welsh in Tourism Businesses Award, sponsored by the Welsh Language Board and Menter Iaith Môn was won by both Crwydro Môn / Anglesey Walking Holidays and Neuadd Lwyd. Judges felt that both Anglesey Walking Holidays and Neuadd Lwyd deserved to be winners of this Award. They both achieved very high points in the ranking system which clearly shows good practice in the use of Welsh in business. Judges commented that Anglesey Walking Holidays deliver the complete Welsh and total holiday experience, while covering the whole of Anglesey.
