Visit Devon in America
5th November 2019
Visit Devon’s Sally Everton has been busy targeting the North American tourism market and telling them all about Devon.
Sally has been in the US for a week long mission meeting with key tour operators and travel agents, as well as visiting VEMEX (Visit Europe Media Exchange) to continue the work started last year with the Discover England Funded project. The funding ceased in March this year, but Visit Devon, working alongside Visit Cornwall, have been continuing with their own campaign to increase visitors from North America to the south west. The campaign includes tailor-made itineraries and experiences that promote what is unique about these two counties.
The Mayflower 400 project joined Visit Devon for the week, which was perfect as the commemoration of the Mayflower setting sail will begin in the next few months. Mayflower 400 will be celebrating the anniversary of the famous ship sailing from Plymouth, Devon to Plymouth, Massachusetts in 2020 with a whole host of interesting events which will coincide with events and activities taking place in Massachusetts.
