  • The Discover Bristol Pineapple Awards is a celebration of Bristol’s hospitality and tourism industry and a recognition of the front line staff who go above and beyond to enrich a visitor’s experience in Bristol.

    The pineapple is recognized as
    a traditional expression of “welcome” and hospitality throughout the South.
    The fruit symbolizes the
    intangible assets we appreciate
    in a home or destination: warmth,
    welcome and hospitality.
