THE search goes on to find the best tourism businesses in Waveney - and you can vote for your favourite attractions and destinations.
The Journal and the Beccles and Bungay Journal are again supporting the awards. We've teamed up with Waveney Tourism Forum and want to hear readers' experiences.
The Sunrise Coast welcomes more than four million visitors to the area each year, and tourism is worth more than �235m to the local economy. Much of the industry's success can be accredited to the facili-ties we have around our area, from country hotels and stately homes to wildlife parks, traditional accommodation, theatres and theme parks.
This is the third year that the two newspapers have supported the awards. Previous winners have included Africa Alive! Britten House, Ivy House Country Hotel and Broad-land Holiday Village.
Kirsty Chapman, park operations manager at Africa Alive! at Kessing-land, said: 'We were very proud to have received the Sunrise Coast Tourism Award for Best Large Attrac-tion in 2008. It is a reflection of the high quality and standards that our teams strive for, and we are proud to display our award for all of our visitors to see.'
This year, categories include: Best Bed and Break-fast, Best Hotel, Best Holiday Park, Best Small Attraction (under 10,000 visitors a year), and Best Large Attraction (more than 10,000 visitors a year). There is also a new award for museums and heritage venues.
