A new network has been launched to promote collaborative, climate-friendly tourism in East Devon, the local council has announced.

It is a key part of the East Devon Tourism Strategy aimed at the region becoming a leading year-round destination for visitors.

The East Devon Tourism Network will aim to help businesses share expertise, fight climate change and offer the best products and services to customers.

The first network event will take place in March. Membership will be free to businesses which provide a visitor experience, whether it is to ‘eat, stay or visit’.

They must also show evidence of being committed to promoting quality, working towards net zero, improving accessibility and collaboration.

The network will provide a comprehensive online listing of high quality, East Devon based cultural events and activities to appeal to tourists.

Nick Hookway, East Devon District Council’s portfolio holder for tourism, leisure, sport and culture, said: ‘We are delighted to support this new East Devon-wide tourism network.

‘All tourism businesses are welcome to join to share ideas, find out about new opportunities and learn from best practice.

‘By supporting the business community improve its offer, it will eventually drive more return visitors and attract new ones.’
