The English Riviera continues to be a popular destination for both UK and Overseas journalists to visit and the English Riviera BID Company helps fund these visits to maximise publicity for the area.
The English Riviera BID Company is frequently interviewed on South West tourism matters and special tourism features regularly on ITV Westcountry and BBC Spotlight.
In January 2019, The 25 Boutique B&B in Torquay was named the ‘Best B&B in the World’ by TripAdvisor. This was the biggest ERBID PR story for 2019 and garnered a lot of media coverage, in print, on the radio and on TV.
Many celebrities have visited the Bay in recent years, making programmes that showcase the area, including Joanna Lumley, Susan Calman and Alan Carr.
