2023 NYS Tourism Excellence

Awards Recipients Announced

On behalf of the Board and staff of the New York State Tourism Industry Association, we are excited to announce the recipients of the 2023 New York State Tourism Excellence Awards!

The judges were especially challenged this year by the caliber, scope, and volume of the submissions (there was a 40% increase in nominations YOY!) This celebration of the excellent work done by tourism professionals in New York State would not have been possible without the efforts of those who nominated, the judges who reviewed and scored each submission, and the incredible work done by destination marketing organizations, attractions, leaders, and other tourism-related businesses across New York State.

Please join us at the 2023 NYSTIA Annual Meeting in Rochester on September 13-15 to celebrate the honorees during a special ceremony at the Strong National Museum of Play! Register Now
