Their backing for these awards is greatly appreciated and will help to make them a recognised and sought after mark of quality for local businesses. It is vital that we recognise and reward achievement in our industry, to ensure businesses continue to deliver high standard service, and to encourage others to develop their offer.

William Myles, Partnerships & Continental Planning Development Manager for P&O Ferries, said: "P&O Ferries are proud to be a sponsor of the very first RYTAs. These awards are an excellent way to recognise the quality of this region's tourism industry and promote Hull and East Yorkshire to a wider audience."
Professor John Lennon of the Moffat Centre for Travel and Tourism said: "The Real Yorkshire Tourism Awards affirm the great service and products that East Yorkshire has to offer. The Moffat Centre is proud to work with many businesses in the area and is proud to sponsor the awards. Real performance, real service, Real Yorkshire!"
Jonathan Knight, chief executive of The Regional Food Group, said "We are delighted to be sponsoring the Real Food category in the upcoming VHEY awards. Yorkshire and Humber is home to some of the world's most innovative small producers who believe passionately in what they do. With supermarkets increasingly stocking regional products and more consumers saying they want to buy local and know where their food comes from, the demand for regional food continues to rise. The Regional Food Group will continue to promote provenance through the campaigning deliciouslyorkshire brand."
Gary Verity, chief executive of Welcome to Yorkshire: "The Yorkshire tourism industry plays an essential role in boosting the regional economy. All businesses who play a part in providing positive visitor experiences are contributing to this. We are therefore delighted to be sponsoring Visit Hull and East Yorkshire's tourism awards and look forward to celebrating the achievements of our tourism partners who strive for excellence and make our region a destination to be proud of."
