Torbay Council have confirmed a ZERO budget for Tourism Promotion as a discretionary service and without the English Riviera Tourism BID in place there will be NO MONEY to promote Torbay and the English Riviera brand from 2017 onwards.  For this reason we are now proposing the establishment of a new English Riviera Tourism Business Improvement District (ERTBID) which will allow sufficient funds to be secured for ongoing Destination  Marketing to take place for a further 5 years (2017 – 2022)
