Travel and Tourism is the most important financial sector in the South West and, despite the current economic climate, people are still travelling abroad and also exploring the UK.

The travel and tourism sector is constantly evolving with advancing technology and the price-driven market, while developing many new or alternative travel destinations around the world. Ecotourism and adventure tourism are also growth areas.
