Abbeyford Leisure chairman David J Evans said: “We’ve invested significantly within Elie Holiday Park over recent years to become one of the leading holiday and visitor destinations in East Central Scotland. As Abbeyford Leisure looks forward to its 70th anniversary this latest award makes us especially proud, as it's our guests that are taking the time and effort to share their wonderful experiences to recognise Elie Holiday Park in this way.”

“TripAdvisor is excited to announce the recipients of the 2018 Certificate of Excellence, which celebrates experiences and other travel businesses that have consistently received strong praise and ratings on the world’s largest travel site,” said Heather Leisman, Vice President of Industry Marketing, TripAdvisor. “This recognition allows us to publicly honour businesses that are actively engaging with customers and using feedback to help travellers identify and confidently book the perfect trip.”

To qualify, a business must maintain an overall TripAdvisor bubble rating of at least four out of five, have a minimum number of reviews and must have been listed on TripAdvisor for at least 12 months.
