Voting For Britain’s Best Heritage Attraction Will Go Down To The Wire

Undeterred by the fact that it is up against some meaty opposition, the National Maritime Museum in Falmouth is pulling out all the stops to achieve success in the finals of the British Travel Awards (BTA). It has made the final short list, where it will find itself going head to head with such “Premier Division” attractions such as Titanic Belfast and Edinburgh Castle.

Jonathan Griffin, director of the Maritime Museum, said: “As an independent museum which receives no regular government funding it is wonderful to get national recognition such as this. There is no denying the competition is tough but with the backing of the whole of Cornwall we hope we can bring home the top prize.”

BTA’s chief executive Lorraine Barnes Burton added: “National Maritime Museum Cornwall is to be congratulated on reaching the finals of the prestigious British Travel Awards. The largest consumer voted awards programme in the UK, the BTAs are designed to reward the best companies in travel, and the winning accolade is the benchmark for excellence when it comes to finding out who really is the best in the business of travel for the UK consumer.”

It is the public’s votes that count.  The British Travel Awards web site (see below) gives full details. Voting closes at the end of September and the winners will be announced at a ceremony on October 31 at the Battersea Evolution in Battersea Park, London.
