CP1319-16 Transfer and Use of Tourism Assets

Following the dissolution of the Devon Tourism Partnership (DTP), the associated tourism assets became available. Devon County Council, along with the other members of the DTP wished to make these available to an organisation that will continue to deliver the services they provided, for and on behalf of the Devon tourism industry.

This includes marketing and promotion of Devon as a visitor destination, and also the roles of destination management, which includes support for and representation of the tourism industry and businesses within Devon (including Plymouth and Torbay). The assets to be made available for transfer are; • A photographic library of 3,127 images (that must be made available for all tourism businesses to use). • The Visit Devon Brand – this is part of the Devon Brand, which is free to use, within the guidelines.

Changes and updates can be supported by the DCC comms team. • Access to the social media accounts. • The content of the www.visitdevon.co.uk website (pending copyright agreement with all partners who produced the content), and the contract for CMS licenses and hosting. • The content of the www.devontourismadvice.co.uk website, and the agreement for hosting. The assets that ‘exclusive use of’ will be granted; www.visitdevon.co.uk www.visitdevon.com www.devontourismadvice.co.uk
