About the Heart of Devon

The Heart of Devon Tourism Partnership is the Area Tourism Partnership, and local membership organisation broadly for the areas of East Devon, Exeter, Mid Devon and parts of Teignbridge. The Heart of Devon exists to promote and unlock the full potential of the area as a year round sustainable destination.

The Tourism Partnership's aim is for the area to be recognised as one of the premier holiday destinations within the region through all aspects of tourism promotion, including marketing to the consumer, group and conference market.

The Heart of Devon's role is to help businesses to thrive, offer marketing and advertising opportunities, business support initiatives and membership benefits. The company is the first point of contact for member businesses. It is a not for profit Company Limited by Guarantee and is led by a private / public sector partnership, ensuring that any profits made are put back into the marketing and development of successful tourism related businesses within the broad area covered by the Heart of Devon.
