Visit London Awards Attracts Key Sponsors

travmedia.com: "The new and improved Visit London awards, to be held at the Natural History Museum on October 18, has attracted several high profile sponsors. The sponsors will get the extra benefits of a higher-profile awards ceremony and, by getting in first, will be well placed to continue their relationship with the awards as they continue to increase in size and profile.
Visit London�s annual industry awards has been renamed, upsized, given a new look, and a bigger profile in 2004 following the restructure of Visit London last year. The evening is funded via a combination of ticket sales and sponsorship of the awards title plus individual categories.
David Hornby, Commercial Director for Visit London said: �we want an awards ceremony that reflects our world-class visitor product. The step-change for this important event means that we can go all out to provide a night to remember for the nominees and guests.�
Two new categories this year are Best Event, recognising London�s diverse events sector, and London Nightlife, eligible for entry by any entertainment providers from theatres to nightclubs.
Sponsorship opportunities are still available and tickets for the event will be available soon � keep checking at www.visitlondon.com/corporate for more information.
