The VISITBRUSSELS awards were presented last night at a ceremony in the ‘Hotel de la Poste’ (Tour & Taxis) in Brussels. These awards recognize the most dynamic initiatives that have contributed this past year to the appearance and attractiveness of the Brussels-Capital Region.
70 initiatives have enrolled this year. Never before has VISITBRUSSELS registered as many records. A 10-member jury composed of journalists and presidents of various associations in the tourism sector, has selected three nominees for each category. It is ultimately the general public that designated the winners by casting their online votes.
And the winners are …
– In the category New Concept in Town 2012 : Brussels Vintage Market with 1203 votes (51%)
