The Doctor Who Experience has been shortlisted for the
Regional Tourism Award at the National Tourism Awards for Wales , less than one year after opening in Cardiff Bay .
The Experience and the other shortlisted businesses were
announced on Monday 17th June at the launch of the new tourism strategy for Wales
by Minister for Economy, Science and Transport, Edwina Hart. The Minister said:
“It’s fantastic to see such a high number of entries for
this year’s National Tourism Awards for Wales . What’s more, the quality of
those entries was outstanding. We are very fortunate in Wales to have a
tourism sector of such high calibre. The shortlisted businesses are prime
examples of quality businesses, helping to drive higher tourism earnings for
the Welsh economy. We look forward to unveiling the winners in November.”
The awards are staged by Visit Wales, in partnership with
the Wales Tourism Alliance and in commercial partnership with Quadrant Media
and Communications, to recognise and reward the very best in Welsh tourism. All
of the shortlisted businesses will now go through another round of judging
before finalists are announced ahead of the awards ceremony at Venue Cymru in
Llandudno on 21 November 2013.
The Doctor Who Experience takes visitors on a journey that
explores the whole world of the iconic Time Lord, from his first appearance in
1963, right up to the present day. Exhibits include props and costumes from all
eleven Doctors, along with some of the most fearsome foes and the Tenth Doctor’s
TARDIS set.
Matt Smith says of the Experience, "The whole concept
of the Doctor Who Experience, which will give fans a chance to star in their
very own Doctor Who adventure, is massively exciting! I hope as many people as
possible enjoy boarding the TARDIS to embark upon an exhilarating and sometimes
terrifying adventure through time and space".
