"Wasserschloss Hagenwil" wins 20th Thurgau Tourism Award
The 2020 Thurgau Tourism Award goes to Hagenwil Water Castle. With this award, the jury recognizes the entrepreneurial achievement behind the consistent development of the only surviving water castle in Eastern Switzerland. Today, the modern restaurant is considered a popular destination for day trips.
Thurgau Tourism - with the support of Thurgauer Kantonalbank as prize sponsor - is awarding the Thurgau Tourism Prize for the 20th time. The prize is endowed with a sum of CHF 10,000 and is an important motivational and marketing tool for service providers. The prize is intended to honor exemplary entrepreneurial thinking and action in line with the tourism strategy.
While last year, for the first time, the public was able to cast their vote via online voting, this year this was deliberately dispensed with. Due to the tightened measures for the containment of the corona virus, a large part of the potential tourism award candidates would have had only a limited or no possibility to convince the large public of their offer. Thus - based on the evaluation of six criteria by a jury of experts - the moated castle of Hagenwil emerged as this year's winner.
Award ceremony on March 25, 2021
The official award ceremony for invited guests is scheduled to take place on Thursday, March 25, 2021 as part of the Tourism Forum Thurgau Bodensee.
