This is an important award because coach-borne visitors are vital to the tourism industry in Alnwick. The town is visited by around 3000 coaches per year, a rise of 200% over the last seven years, and equates to 150,000 visitors to the town, its shops and other businesses. Coach passengers bring in around £4.5 million every year to the Alnwick economy. We are delighted that Alnwick’s welcome and excellence as a destination for coach tourism has been officially recognised by the CPT again.
