The winners of the Manchester Tourism Awards 2008 were announced last night in a glittering ceremony at Manchester Central.
The awards recognise the high level of investment and quality of tourism product across the region. They were presented by ex-Coronation Street actress Sally Lindsey in front of an audience of 400 of the region’s most influential tourism representatives.
