WHAT A ‘NO’ VOTE MEANS
There is no Plan B. Torbay Council has confirmed that, in the event of a ‘no’ vote, they will be
unable to provide replacement funding for destination marketing. From 31 December 2026, the
English Riviera would lose:
• The official Destination Marketing Organisation (DMO) for Torbay and businesses will lose a
direct link to Government
• The official English Riviera website and social media channels
• Funds for National Advertising
• Funds for National PR
• Funds for Event Sponsorship
• Funds for lobbying
• The Visitor Information Service
WHAT A ‘YES’ VOTE MEANS
A ‘Yes’ vote ensures that our local tourism and hospitality sector receives another five years of
secure, ring-fenced funding, dedicated entirely to marketing and promoting the English Riviera.
