MEMBER NEWS: ASC is simply the best

Aberdeen Science Centre has been named as one of the Best of the Best after being awarded a prestigious Tripadvisor 2023 Travelers’ Choice Award for the third year running.

The coveted awards are given to those who consistently earn great reviews from travellers and are ranked within the top 10% on Tripadvisor.

According to Bryan Snelling, chief executive of Aberdeen Science Centre, there is real value in being awarded a Travelers’ Choice Award.

“We’re delighted that our continued commitment to unleashing the power of curiosity and delivering science content in a way that is fun and engaging has once again been recognised by the very people we are aiming to please – those who come and spend time at Aberdeen Science Centre,” he said.

“The Travelers’ Choice Awards are based on real-life feedback so it is extremely gratifying to find out that we have been awarded this accolade for the third year in a row. Our team prides itself on delivering meaningful experiences to every visitor to Aberdeen Science Centre. Our Tripadvisor feedback reflects this with many visitors taking the time to write a review and comment on how amazing our staff are.”

“Congratulations to the 2023 Tripadvisor Travelers’ Choice winners,” said John Boris, Chief Growth Officer at Tripadvisor. “The travel resurgence we’ve seen throughout the past year has even further heightened the competition. Earning a Travelers’ Choice Award demonstrates that you have provided great experiences to those who matter most: your guests.”

The news of Aberdeen Science Centre’s Tripadvisor Travelers’ Choice award comes just days after the venue was announced as one of the shortlisted finalists in the Aberdeen City and Shire Thistle Awards.

Aberdeen Science Centre is in the running to be named Best Visitor Attraction at the awards ceremony which will take place in September at The Chester Hotel.

Bryan added: “Being shortlisted in the Best Visitor Attraction category is recognition of the experience we aim to give everyone who visits Aberdeen Science Centre.

“Inspiring minds is at the heart of what we do. Each and every exhibit, experience and interaction is designed to pique curiosity, and inspire our visitors to discover more. We are totally committed to providing an engaging, inspiring and educational – but fun – experience for everyone who visits the centre, whether that’s as a family or as a school visit.

“Our team works hard to bring STEM to life for every visitor and try to make every interaction a positive one.”

Based on Constitution Street near Aberdeen beach, ASC is home to almost 65 interactive exhibits, allowing people of all ages to discover topics including Space, Energy, Life Sciences, Engineering, and much more.

AREG has played an important role in the growth of Scotland’s renewable energy sector, engaging the supply chain and developing the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre. However, we are only at the very beginning of the transition that AREG was established to both lead and support so there are still opportunities for companies to get into the constantly evolving renewables supply chain. We look forward to continuing our work together as renewables builds on its place as Scotland’s main source of power, and as we seek to deliver real change in the crucial areas of heat and transport.

Aberdeen & Grampian Chamber of Commerce has worked closely with AREG since its formation. The recent progress in the developments of offshore wind projects by Equinor and Vattenfall are as a result of the work of the group over many years. The north-east is known as the oil and gas capital of Europe. At the Chamber, we believe the region must evolve its position to being recognised as the energy capital. Whilst hydrocarbons will continue to be essential in driving our economy for years to come, the generation of renewable resources will play an increasingly important role in providing cost-effective power, innovative development and economic growth.

The enthusiasm and dedication of the early group that would become AREG was fundamental in us choosing to launch All-Energy in Aberdeen. The first tiny show was held in 2001, and AREG’s Chairman at the time, Jeremy Cresswell, played such an active role that I often describe him in terms such as All-Energy’s ‘midwife’. All-Energy is now the UK’s largest renewable and low carbon energy exhibition and conference in terms of number of attendees, space booked, and number of exhibiting companies. As AREG became firmly established, their presence and support for the event grew spectacularly over the years. We thank them most sincerely for their invaluable input.

Vattenfall has forged a strong working relationship with AREG through the development of the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre. AREG has worked tirelessly on behalf of the North East and it can take enormous credit for the growth of sustainable energy in the region and the path it has cleared for the region to capture further investment.

Aberdeen City and Shire is emerging as a key location for renewables by successfully transferring its world-class oil and gas expertise into the sector and AREG has done much to advance this through a broad range of initiatives. It has acted as a catalyst in driving further investment in the local economy by engaging with companies, Government, public bodies and existing projects and we have been pleased to support their efforts. Scottish Enterprise will continue to engage with AREG as we increase Scotland’s use of renewable energy.
