Welcome to Yorkshire has been shortlisted to be the world’s leading tourism board in the World Travel Awards and is England’s only representative.
The tourist board will compete with the likes of Australia, India, Jamaica, Maldives, Las Vegas, Cancun and New York.
Dubbed the Oscars of the travel industry by the Wall Street Journal, the ceremony is on November 7 in London.
Chief executive of Welcome to Yorkshire Gary Verity said: “This is global recognition for all the hard work we have been doing with our partners to raise the profile of Yorkshire as a leading travel destination.
"We are in illustrious and esteemed company but that is where Yorkshire belongs. Yorkshire is a world class tourist destination and our nomination recognises that.
“As England’s only representative in the category, Yorkshire can be very proud already. We are a leading example to the rest of the country of how successful tourism can be and we hope we can do the county and the country proud and win.”
