Five of Ipswich Borough Council’s venues and outdoor spaces have been recognised as 2020 Travellers’ Choice award winners by popular travel platform Tripadvisor.
Based on a full year of Tripadvisor reviews, prior to any changes caused by the pandemic, The Regent Theatre, Ipswich Museum, Christchurch Mansion, Christchurch Park and Holywells Park have received consistently great customer feedback, placing them in the top 10% of hospitality businesses around the globe.
The announcement comes within the same year that Ipswich was hailed one of the world’s top Emerging Destinations - the only UK entry in the top 25 list by Tripadvisor.
Despite the pandemic changing previously arranged plans for the sites, staff have been busy making sure that customers can still enjoy or find out more about the facilities themselves:
Ipswich Borough Council’s Portfolio Holder for the town centre, Cllr Sarah Barber said: “We’re pleased to see our facilities are getting the recognition they deserve for the great experiences they offer visitors.
“These awards showcase the hard work and dedication of our staff who go above and beyond to create a high-quality customer journey and offer a warm welcome. I’m proud that we have such great facilities that help make Ipswich a fantastic place to live, work and study.”
