We were thrilled to be awarded Gold in both the Self Catering Holiday of the Year and Sustainable Tourism categories at the 2014/2015 Cornwall Tourism Awards.
The judges made clear that were looking to encourage new entrants and would only consider previous award winners if they could demonstrate continuing investment in staff, services and marketing โ which makes our win even more significant.
One of the reasons the judges gave for awarding us Gold against stiff opposition was the excellence of our communications with guests. They commented that: โBosinver maintains the highest standards in everything. The customer service levels are excellent; the staff wanting to offer the best holiday possible for the guests.โ
Sustainable tourism is something weโre passionate about, so we were delighted that our work in this area was recognised by the judges, who said: โSustainability is very much at the heart of the business. Supporting the local area and community and inspiring guests (especially children) to encounter and be inspired by nature is the passion of the owners.โ
Weโve worked really hard to make Bosinver the best it can possibly be, and weโre hugely proud of everything weโve achieved. Over the last few years, the increased importance of the internet and the growing popularity of social media as had a huge effect on our business. Weโve completely embraced online communications and weโve been growing our web presence and e-communications, investing in a new website in 2012 and working hard to develop our social media presence across Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and Google+. For us, itโs all about the experience, which starts well before guests set foot in Cornwall, and extends after their holiday. Our online community is active and constantly growing, and weโre delighted that so many of our guests (and potential guests) join in.
What we love about social media in particular is that itโs so immediate and inclusive. Itโs fantastic being able to post photos, share tips about where to go and what to do in Cornwall or whatโs happening in Bosinver and get feedback and comments moments later from people across the globe. And itโs also great seeing photos and videos of our guests enjoying their holidays at Bosinver that theyโve shared online.
