Last few days to help Rob bring a coveted tourism accolade home to Yorkshire

People only have a few days left to cast their vote and help a North York Moors man bring a highly prized tourism accolade home to Yorkshire.

Rob Brown, who works for Dalby Forest Cycle Hub, is Yorkshire’s only contender out of the 10 nominees nationally to have been shortlisted to win VisitEngland’s Tourism Superstar Award 2024, a competition celebrating the nation’s unsung heroes who go that extra mile to ensure visitor experiences are special.

Now the public only have until midnight on the 24 March to place their vote for Rob, who has been nominated by the North York Moors National Park for his passion, care and unwavering dedication to ensure that everybody, whether disabled or non-disabled, has a fantastic experience of cycling in Dalby Forest.

In particular the National Park has singled out Rob’s enthusiasm and encouragement, which has not just helped equip people with the right skills to ride a bike but also transformed mindsets to help them achieve more – whether it’s helping somebody with a life-changing accident realise it is still possible to cycle with their family using an adaptive bike; or a child to ride unaided for the first time.

Catriona McLees, Head of Marketing and Communications at the North York Moors National Park adds: “Rob really deserves to be crowned this year’s Tourism Superstar for his work in making cycling more inclusive, particularly as he embodies essential Yorkshire qualities – kindness and a no-nonsense approach that really goes a long way to helping people achieve far more than they would have thought possible.

“Voting only takes a few moments and it would be fantastic to see Rob bring home the award for Yorkshire.”
