The quality of tourism businesses across the county will be acknowledged this year at the inaugural Croeso Awards. Organised by Visit Pembrokeshire, the awards will be hosted by well-respected TV & radio personality Jason Mohammad.

Following turbulent times over recent years, Pembrokeshire’s tourism providers are once again welcoming visitors who are keen to experience the delights of the county for the first time and those for whom Pembrokeshire is a place to return to relax and unwind. Entry to the awards is open now via the website www.visitpembrokeshire.com/croeso-awards/ until midnight July 8. The awards are free to enter, and businesses are encouraged to enter any number of qualifying categories.

The awards dinner will take place at Crug Glas Country House, St. Davids on October 20.

Born in Cardiff, Jason is a fluent Welsh speaker and has also hosted many major television sporting events on BBC channels including the Olympic and Commonwealth Games, World Cup, snooker, rugby, and athletics. He’s also co-hosted Crimewatch and his acting credits include more than one episode of Dr Who!

His relaxed, humorous, and engaging style will without doubt, ensure the evening is a fantastic success”
