Update of Torbay Economic Strategy and Tourism Strategy

 

 

Torbay's existing Economic Strategy covers the period 2013-2018 and the Tourism Strategy covers the period 2010-2015.  The Economic Strategy is one of the Council’s key Policy Framework documents, with the Tourism Strategy being a sub document of this Strategy.

 

The period covered by the Tourism Strategy has now expired and the Strategy has been reviewed and updated in light of changes to local government funding and national tourism policy.  The Tourism Strategy needs to feed into the revised Economic Strategy and it is therefore proposed that two Strategies will be reviewed together to ensure they complement each other.
