Visit South Devon partners with YourWelcome
YourWelcome, the leading provider of smart tablet devices for holiday let properties, and Visit South Devon, the official tourism marketing organisation promoting East Devon, Mid Devon, Teignbridge and South Hams, yesterday announced a new strategic partnership.
Combining local area expertise provided by Visit South Devon with YourWelcome’s tablet devices, the partnership will provide holiday-let landlords with an unrivalled solution for guests that want to explore the local area.
Holiday let owners that sign up to YourWelcome will be sent a custom tablet device that is left in their properties for guests to use. The tablets will provide guests with up-to-date information about the South Devon area, alongside bespoke guides to the property they are staying in and local on-demand services.
Each tablet that is set up within the region will automatically be filled with content highlighting attractions and activities from around the region. Visitors can see all of the recommended places on a map, get directions and even book a taxi – all from the tablet.
The announcement took place at Exeter Racecourse, during the launch of Visit South Devon’s new brand.
Henry Bennett, CEO of YourWelcome, commented: “Holidaymakers are inundated with information from apps and websites that claim to have the best local information – but it is difficult to determine the authenticity of the comments and advice. We are excited to work with Visit South Devon to ensure that guests to the region have access to up-to-date information, from a trusted source. This will add material benefit to the guest during their stay.
This is exciting opportunity to show the versatility of our tablets, and we look forward to expanding to other areas very soon.”
Sarah Stride, General Manager of Visit South Devon added: “Devon attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors every year, and Visit South Devon was set up to help them find the best local accommodation & attractions that the region has to offer. Partnering with YourWelcome creates a new opportunity for us – extending our reach, taking us in to the properties that visitors are staying in. Visit South Devon will be at the forefront of a user’s experience, helping them to discover the best that the region has to offer.”
