VISIT South Devon has launched a new holiday special offers app to help visitors during the summer holidays.

The app offers a one-stop shop for discounts on accommodation, food and drink, activities and entertainment in the area.

The launch aimed to coincide with the start of the summer holidays to give a last-minute boost to online bookings.

The aim is to provide savings for families across Devon.

According to Visit South Devon, the app is one of the first of its kind to be launched by a destination marketing organisation.

The new app is free to download now on both Apple and Android devices.

Sarah Stride, acting general manager for Visit South Devon, said: "In recent weeks we have seen the pound fall in value, which means that overseas trips are less affordable for UK residents, while visitors from the continent and beyond are able to pick up great deals here in the South West.

"Our hope is that by launching this app now tourism businesses across South Devon, the English Riviera, mid-Devon, East-Devon and Exeter will benefit from last minute staycations and an influx of overseas visitors.

"We’re looking forward to growing the range of offers available on the app throughout the summer and in to the autumn, and so we’re encouraging tourism businesses in Mid and East Devon to work in collaboration with us to create a range of unforgettable experiences and offers.

"Together we hope to make The South Devon Holiday Offer app the go to app for visitors looking to make the most of their trip to South, Mid and East Devon, helping to boost day visits, short breaks and longer holidays year round."

The new app means visitors unfamiliar with the local area, or those who find choosing something to do too hard, can easily find their nearest offer as the app allows you to search for what is close by.
