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.

The Manchester Tourism Awards are organised by Marketing Manchester, the agency charged with promoting Manchester on a national and international stage. They are supported by the Northwest Regional Development Agency (NWDA) and the evening’s corporate sponsors.”
