The accolade recognises the event’s exceptional contribution to tourism and its status as a standout experience in the region.
The Wales Airshow, held annually in Swansea, is renowned for its breathtaking aerial displays, attracting tens of thousands of visitors from across the UK and beyond.
The achievement also means the Wales Airshow will now represent South West Wales at the National Tourism Awards 2025. The national event will take place on March 27 at Venue Cymru in Llandudno, where it will compete for the title of the best in Wales.
Robert Francis-Davies, cabinet member for investment, regeneration, events and tourism at Swansea Council, said:
“We’re absolutely thrilled that the Wales Airshow has been recognised as the best event in South West Wales. The award is a testament to the hard work and creativity of everyone involved in delivering such a spectacular event. The airshow has become a highlight of Swansea’s calendar, bringing joy to residents and visitors alike while significantly boosting our local economy.
“We are proud to represent South West Wales at the National Tourism Awards 2025 and will continue striving to make Swansea Bay a must-visit destination.”
Swansea Council thanked all the sponsors, partners, volunteers, and the local community for their support in making the Wales Airshow a success. The council now plans to showcase the event on Llandudno’s national stage to help celebrate the best of Welsh tourism.
