It’s time to recognize Oxford County’s exceptional tourism businesses, organizations and individuals. Tourism Oxford is currently seeking nominations for the new annual Oxford Tourism Awards of Excellence.

It has been a priority for Tourism Oxford to develop an appreciation program to acknowledge the dedicated efforts of the regional tourism operators that excel in what they do. This award program will recognize the region’s tourism businesses, organizations, and individuals who have displayed excellence in product development, partnerships/collaborations, innovation, inclusiveness, leadership, sustainability, and attraction to the region. The program also recognizes partners who are working collaboratively with Tourism Oxford to grow regional tourism and offer exceptional visitor experiences

The 2022 Award Categories are:

• Responsible Tourism Award
• Tourism Partnership Award
• Best New Tourism Product Award

Applications are encouraged from individuals, small businesses and non-profit organizations based in Oxford County. Businesses are encouraged to self-nominate or nominate a local business they admire. The deadline for submissions is March 31, 2022. Winners will be announced in June.
