AWARD WINNERS!

Macduff Marine Aquarium has shown once again that it deserves its reputation as one of the top visitor attractions in the North East of Scotland, by netting a prestigious national tourism award - the Association of Scottish Visitor Attractions' Best Visitor Experience 2008 award.
This is the first time ASVA has offered this award, sponsored by The Royal Yacht Britannia, and other nominees included three high quality visitor attractions in Edinburgh - which were all beaten hands down by the aquarium.

Attractions were judged on the kind of experience they offer to visitors and how the attraction monitors and improves this experience. The award attracted entries of a very high standard and the top prize is a free place on the Scottish Enterprise Tourism Executive Seminar at the Schindlerhof Hotel and Conference Centre in Nurnberg, Germany from 11th – 13th January 2009.

The prize was presented to Macduff Marine Aquarium's education and marketing officer, Claire Matthews, at the ASVA conference at Dunblane Hydro on 13th November. We're thrilled to have won this best visitor experience award, especially as the other contenders were of such high quality and located in the capital - it's a real accolade for the Aquarium.
