Yorkshire.com was the only winner of two awards at the prestigious TravelMole Web awards in London.The record-breaking Welcome to Yorkshire website was nominated for three awards - the highest number of nominations at the ceremony - and came away with two, the only double winners of the evening. It successfully defended the award it won last year for Best Tourism Website and picked up an additional award for Best Use of Video. It narrowly lost out in the Best Use of Mobile Technology category.Gary Verity, chief executive of Welcome to Yorkshire, said: "Yorkshire was the biggest winner at these prestigious travel awards and it goes to show that people across the country, as well as across the world, are taking notice of what we are doing. Yorkshire.com is setting new standards in the travel industry while Yorkshire itself is exceeding the expectations of those who come to holiday here. We plan to continue improving what we do on both fronts and ensure Yorkshire continues to win prestigious awards like these." Graham McKenzie, founder of TravelMole, said: "Welcome to Yorkshire and Yorkshire.com can be proud to be the only double winners on the evening against very tough opposition. The people of Yorkshire can be very proud of the website that represents them so superbly."Since it launched in April last year Yorkshire.com has gone from strength to strength. Visits to the site topped 2.3million last year and are already over 2million year-to-date. In fact the website is breaking records even before the busy summer season starts.

TravelMole is the largest global online community for the travel and tourism industry with over 450,000 registered newswire subscribers from travel and tourism professionals worldwide, as well as 30 million consumers in 132 countries.Welcome to Yorkshire has won a number of awards since it launched last April.Most recently it won the People's Choice award at the Chelsea Flower Show for its Rhubarb Crumble and Custard Garden and it also won the International Business Forum's Most Innovative Marketing Campaign Award 2009 for 'A Long Weekend in Yorkshire Isn't Long Enough'.Later this year Welcome to Yorkshire is also nominated for Europe's leading marketing campaign in the World Travel Awards.
