Pembrokeshire has once again booked its place in the finals of the prestigious British Travel Awards.

It is shortlisted in the best UK holiday county/destination, while Tenby is shortlisted in best UK coastal resort – having scooped third place in the category last year.

"This is great news for Pembrokeshire," said Alan Turner, Pembrokeshire County Council's tourism marketing and development manager.

"To be shortlisted against stiff competition from across the UK is an achievement in itself."

He said the awards are special because they are voted for by the public.

"We had fantastic support for the campaign we ran on the Visit Pembrokeshire website and our social media channels on Facebook and Twitter," he said.

"We are grateful to all our supporters and to those who voted for us."

The winners will be announced at the BTA Gala Awards Dinner at Battersea Evolution in London on November 26.

British Travel Awards' chief executive Lorraine Barnes Burton said: "The awards serve to recognise all that is great about UK travel companies and destinations and the British Travel Awards symbol is recognised as the 'Benchmark of Excellence'.

"To win a British Travel Award is truly an accolade and Pembrokeshire and Tenby are to be congratulated on getting through to the finals."
