Highland Hostel Picks Up Top Tourism Award

Highland based hostel Morag’s Lodge has won the Customer Care category at the Highland & Islands Tourism awards during a glittering awards ceremony at the Drumossie Hotel in Inverness.

Morag’s Lodge is an 80 bed independent hostel located in the small village of Fort Augustus on the banks of Loch Ness. This is the first time a hostel has won the Customer Care category in The Highland’s prestigious ‘Tourism Oscars’.

Over 350 representatives from the region’s top tourism, hospitality, leisure and travel businesses gathered for the Highlands and Islands Tourism Awards 2007 to discover who had won the most prestigious hospitality and tourism industry awards which could help to raise their profile across the country.

The awards showcase and celebrate business excellence and quality in the tourism industry in the Highlands and Islands, and this year there were 12 awards up for grabs and one special award for outstanding services to the tourism industry.

This success comes on the back of Morag’s Lodge being shortlisted for a Customer Care award at the national VisitScotland Thistle Awards last month. Jason Clark, Marketing Manager of Morag’s Lodge in Fort Augustus commented: "We are delighted to have picked up for such a prestigious tourism award. It’s a tremendous achievement for the team at Morag's Lodge and demonstrates our commitment to delivering world-class hostel experiences for visitors to The Highlands regardless of their budget."
