North Devon Plus NVG Equals Success

North Devon Plus, the Destination Management Organisation for North Devon, has contracted New Vision Group to deliver a proven tourism technology platform to increase visitor numbers and visitor spend in their area, whilst creating new revenue generation and commission-sharing opportunities.

The creation of a brand new web presence is underway, aimed at the region's visitors, local community and business audience, to boost the regional economy and enhance tourism sustainability.

Robin Makeig-Jones, Commercial Director for North Devon Plus, says, "There are many reasons why we identified NVG as the best supplier to meet our needs. Not only are discussions made very easy with a single point of contact but they also offer a one-stop solution. Their product range is very flexible and will enable us to create a package tailored to the specific needs of our businesses. And we particularly welcomed their transparent pricing model too."

The NVG e-tourism platform will greatly streamline and simplify their operation through a range of easy to use destination management tools. Our intuitive Modular Content Management System and Business Relationship Management solutions will enable North Devon Plus to make better use of their data. The solutions they have chosen will enable customer profiling and more effective communication, and encourage take up of advertising and membership opportunities, making them a more commercial tourism delivery body.

Providers will easily be able to update availability, details, photos, events and special offers via the trade extranet to attract more enquiries and generate additional revenue through increased bookings. Furthermore, our Distribution Services will push their data out to al variety of worldwide booking channels, and collection of commissions will also be automated, reducing the demand on resources.

Steve Thorpe, NVG Account Manager for North Devon, says: "So far the members of North Devon Plus who are using the system are impressed with the benefits it brings them and with how easy it is to use. All the hard work being done by North Devon Plus and NVG will result in an outstanding end product."
