Main Story

Tourism and hospitality businesses across BCP have reached the finals of the DMB Tourism Awards 2026.

More than 120 guests attended the shortlist announcement at the Captain's Club Hotel and Spa in Christchurch on Thursday 17 September, bringing together local businesses, sponsors, judges, industry representatives and supporters.

Bournemouth finalists include Marsham Court Hotel in 3 categories, Holiday Inn Bournemouth, Highcliff Marriott and event producer HSWRK, which is shortlisted for its nightlife events at Key West on Bournemouth Pier.

Captain's Club Hotel and Spa is a Small Hotel finalist, while Highcliffe Castle Pantry, South Lytchett Manor Caravan and Camping Park and Monkey World are among those representing Christchurch, Poole and Purbeck.

Destination Management Board Chair Andy Lennox said the awards recognise people and businesses working across the area, adding: "We have so much to offer, from our beaches and open water to our shops."

Awards deliverer Tim Seward also announced he will step down after the November finals following 5 years in the role, saying he was "incredibly proud of what we have achieved together."
