South Devon forges ahead with destination partnerships for its new group travel trade campaign

12th March 2020

Categories: Visitor News

A new group travel trade campaign organised by Visit South Devon has gotten off to an excellent start, with key towns and destinations in South Devon joining the partnerships.

Totnes, Kingsbridge, Dartmouth, Exmouth, Visit Mid Devon, Visit Dartmoor, Ashburton and Newton Abbot have all committed to support Visit South Devon to showcase the region to group travel organisers and tour operators through 2020. New itineraries have been developed for each of these towns and are available on the new dedicated group travel area on the website https://www.visitsouthdevon.co.uk/grouptravel

Rons Boatman, from Exmouth Town Council, said: “Exmouth has excellent facilities for Groups and Coach Visitors and the easy accessibility of the group travel itineraries on the Visit South Devon website will encourage visitor footfall and spend to our local businesses. We have devised updated itineraries that highlight the key places to visit and stay that are Group friendly in our town. We have also included useful information such as parking opportunities for coaches. As with the other contributing towns and destinations you can also download our itineraries and town map.”

As part of the new campaign to attract more groups to the region, Visit South Devon will be exhibiting at key Group Travel Shows this year and hosting media trips to showcase the area as a group friendly destination.
