Downtown Hamilton BIA is pleased to congratulate various winners of the 14th Tourism Hamilton Award. More than 500 people attended the event, and there were 115 nominees in 22 categories.
We are pleased to say that Downtown Hamilton BIA was also nominated for three awards, include 2011 Gore Park Summer Promenade for Medium Event or Festival, 2011 Downtown Localicious Experience for “New” Culinary Tourism Experience and won Brochure or Promotional Piece for 2011 Downtown Restaurant Guide. The two graphic designers for our Downtown Restaurant Guide, Tina Belter and Andrea Brierley, are from BIA member Allegra Hamilton. “I get my inspiration by trying to anticipate what the reader would like to see. I designed the restaurant guide by putting myself in the shoes of tourists who might be looking for information on a great place to eat in Hamilton.” said Tina Belter, who developed the original layout of the award-winning Downtown Restaurant Guide.
Moreover, everybody’s favorite “Supercrawl”, which will mark its fourth anniversary this September, won two individual awards – Entertainment Ambassador Tim Potocic and Volunteer of the Year Dane Pedersen.
A special thank you goes to the staff and volunteers from Tourism Hamilton for a wonderful awards experience. The many awards in different categories encourage and promote excellent hospitality in Hamilton. We can expect great developments in Hamilton in the future.
