Partners including the ERBID Company have joined forced to promote and manage the growth of Devon's local visitor economy. Devon and partners have achieved a new Local Visitor Economy Partnership (LVEP) accreditation for the county. The new LVEP will become part of the national programme managed by Visit England.
The status will support a collaboration of local authorities and organisations, including the ERBID Company, Visit Devon, and Destination Plymouth.
It is estimated that the new structure will enable additional growth in the tourism sector of over £300 million annually going forwards. Devon has the third largest visitor economy in England.
