The Devon & Partners Advisory Board brings together senior leaders from across the public sector, destination management organisations, major attractions, and key industry bodies. This diverse group provides strategic direction, insight, and sector expertise to guide the development of Devon’s visitor economy and support the ambitions of the Local Visitor Economy Partnership (LVEP).
Representing the breadth of Devon’s tourism landscape—from national parks and coastal destinations to hospitality groups, local authorities, and national agencies—the Advisory Board ensures that decision-making is informed, collaborative, and aligned with both local priorities and national standards.
Together, these organisations provide strategic leadership to help grow a resilient, year-round visitor economy, champion local businesses, and ensure Devon remains one of England’s most distinctive and competitive destinations.
