Head of Visitor Experience at Bath Abbey, Sarah Fielding said: “Myself and the team at Bath Abbey are very proud to achieve this award for 2023.
“It is testament to our dedication to continually improve our visitor offering, while remaining mindful of our mission as a working church.
“I would like to thank all our staff and volunteers who work so tirelessly and are dedicated to ensuring Bath Abbey lives up to the high standards our visitors expect.
“The opening of the Discovery Centre earlier this year saw the Abbey increase its focus on high value visitor experiences. It is testament to the team that we have managed to maintain our high rating from visitors.”
John Boris, Chief Growth Officer at Tripadvisor, added: “Congratulations to the 2023 Tripadvisor Travellers’ Choice winners.
“The travel resurgence we’ve seen throughout the past year has even further heightened the competition. Earning a Travellers’ Choice Award demonstrates that you have provided great experiences to those who matter most: your guests.
