What are the REYTAs?

The Remarkable East Yorkshire Tourism Awards are organised by Visit Hull and East Yorkshire to recognise the significance of tourism to this area and celebrate the quality of businesses and individuals working within it. Now in its 13th year, the REYTAs has 16 awards over a wide range of categories up for grabs for the very best tourism businesses in the region. Entries have now closed. We will shortlist the responses before they are all independently mystery shopped. the winners will then be announced at a glittering awards ceremony at DoubleTree by Hilton Hull on 9th November 2023.

We are working in partnership with VisitEngland and have aligned a number of our categories, and are using a shared online application process. This means that in most REYTA categories, the winners will automatically be put forward, if eligible, for judging in the National VisitEngland Awards for Excellence without any further application.
