Portsmouth’s iconic Spinnaker Tower celebrates win at the Beautiful South Awards.


The awards, run by Tourism South East, celebrate the cream of the crop of tourism, leisure and hospitality businesses from across the region. Gold, Silver and Bronze Award winners were announced at a ceremony at the Grand Brighton on December 13th.

Tony Sammut, General Manager at Spinnaker Tower, said: “The Beautiful South Awards celebrate everything that is fantastic about our region as a place to live, work and visit, and I am thrilled that Spinnaker Tower has been recognised as a winner in the Large Visitor Attraction of the Year category. I’m especially delighted for our team whose energy, enthusiasm and dedication provides outstanding experiences for our visitors every day.

“We are proud to be an iconic, must-see icon of the South that attracts visitors from far and wide, as well as having a unique position in the heart of the Portsmouth community – demonstrated with our residents’ discounts and the recent launch of our £25 annual pass which enables visitors to enjoy our ever-changing views time and time again.

Fran Downton, Chief Executive of Tourism South East, said, “Congratulations to all our winners. It was a real honour to play host to such truly exceptional businesses. The strength of our winners is testament to the incredible standards and unwavering quality of the Souths’ tourism and hospitality products. I am extremely grateful to the sponsors and the partnership with The Grand in Brighton that make this extra event special. Tourism South East look forward to celebrating with our winners and working alongside them as they lead the way throughout this coming year.
