The winners of Saints Best Tourism Site Competition received their awards at a special presentation dinner held at The Greenbank Country House Hotel at the end of October.
Two of the categories were won by Keswick area businesses:
Hollows Farm, Grange-in-Borrowdale took first place in the Serviced Accommodation category with www.hollowsfarm.co.uk; and the Attractions, Activity Holidays and Other Tourism Operators section was won by Newlands Adventure Centre website: www.activity.centre.com - both these sites were designed by local company Keswick Computer Services.
This competition for Cumbrian tourism businesses was developed
by Chartered Accountants Saint & Co. in order to encourage them to reap the huge benefits to be derived from using the Internet. It was run in 2001 in association with Cumbria Tourist Board, however, due to the Tourist Board's direct involvement in the National Excellence in England Tourism Website of the Year Awards" to be ranched by the English Tourism Council, it has withdrawn from the awards this year.
The websites were judged by Nicos Souleles, Multimedia Design
and Digital Animation Course Leader at Cumbria Institute of the Arts; Julian Whittle, Business Editor with Cumbrian Newspapers Group; and Cyndy Potter, Senior Manager specialising in the hospitality industry with Saint & Co. Chartered Accountants.
The entries in 2002 showed a great improvement in the sophistication, content and overall design of sites with evidence of an crease in the number of smaller businesses posting their own websites with a unique domain name.
