STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIPS
The ERBID maintains strong, ongoing partnerships with a range of strategic bodies, ensuring that we are kept well-informed
and in the strongest position to influence decisions on behalf of Levy Payers. In ERBID3, we expect the following key
partnerships to continue:
TORBAY COUNCIL
Torbay Council is one of our key strategic partners
and a significant levy payer. The ERBID participates
in Council-led tourism and hospitality related
meetings and consultations including the review of
the Destination Management Plan. We will continue to
work closely with relevant departments.
VISIT ENGLAND AND THE DEVON & PARTNERS
LOCAL VISITOR ECONOMY PARTNERSHIP (LVEP)
Working in partnership with the Devon & Partners
LVEP gives us direct access to VisitEngland, allowing
the English Riviera to participate in their national
marketing campaigns - opportunities which are
unavailable to individual businesses.
VISIT DEVON
The English Riviera is Devon’s largest resort in terms
of bed stock, and the ERBID holds a seat on the Visit
Devon board - a position that will continue under
ERBID3. This ensures that our destination is fully
represented at a county-wide level.
LOBBYING
As Torbay’s official Destination Marketing Organisation
(DMO), the ERBID has become the area’s recognised
voice for tourism. ERBID3 will lobby local MPs, Torbay
Council, the new combined County Authority, and
tourism ministers, as required – as we did effectively
during Covid.
Joe and Linda Lowe Brookside Guest House, Brixham
The BID has demonstrated both vision and
impact — driving visitor growth, supporting local
businesses, and ensuring that Brixham and the
wider English Riviera remain front of mind for both
domestic and international audiences.
Jackie Kelly - Redcliffe Hotel, Paignton
Your commitment, professionalism, and
collaborative approach make a real difference,
particularly in helping to extend the season and
drive year-round demand.
