About
Meet English Riviera (a sub-brand of Meet Devon) is the main conference and convention bureau for the English Riviera and beyond. The key focus of their intervention is to promote Torbay, the English Riviera, as an international destination for any business, conference or event. The intervention also supports the delivery of the English Riviera Destination Management Plan to attract new business and conference visitors. Meet English Riviera assists by offering a free service to support meeting planners / conference organisers in finding the perfect venue to hold their event, whether a large convention or a small board meeting, an incentive group or corporate celebration.
Key services include:
· Venue finding service
· Accommodation – negotiating competitive rates for group bookings, room allocation.
· Social partner programmes
· Arrange venue and destination site and familiarisation visits
· Group travel to your chosen destination – discounted train travel for your delegates
This UKSPF Project is now complete, although outputs and outcomes will still be monitored until March 2025 for impact assessment.
