Pembrokeshire has recognised and celebrated its tourism champions at the 2024 Visit Pembrokeshire Croeso Awards, hosted by Jamie Owen and held at Pembrokeshire College.
Emma Thornton, CEO of Visit Pembrokeshire, said:
“This event was a result of an exciting partnership between Visit Pembrokeshire, the Seren collection and Pembrokeshire College who worked together to deliver an exceptional experience for our guests serving a delicious three course meal featuring locally sourced Pembrokeshire produce. This was partnership working at its best. A big thank you to all our category sponsors and supporters without whom this event would not have been possible.”
