    Devoncast- Is Devon's tourism industry struggling?

    Devon’s tourism sector has been facing a period of uncertainty as attractions respond to visitor habits changing and rising costs. Data has shown how some of the South West’s attractions have been reporting steady performances, while others are on the market or shutting their gates for the final time. Tourism leaders in Devon suggest the sector is entering a phase where adaptation and innovation will be essential for long term stability. Many operators say the pressures facing the industry are now shaping how attractions plan, invest and position themselves for future seasons. Tourism supports thousands of jobs across the region and contributes significantly to the county’s economy. In this episode of Devoncast we hear from those at the centre of the sector. We speak to Roger Sell who is the Chairman of Devon’s Top Attractions and General Manager of the River Dart Country Park and also catch up with Josh Haywood who is the General Manager of Devon’s biggest theme park, Crealy. Radio Exe’s Josh Tate delves into the data and helps offer an insight into the challenges, the resilience and the choices that will shape the future of tourism across Devon.
