Another beautiful evening on Torquay harbourside:
A perfect evening by the harbour Torquay. After another warm day in the English Riviera the sun sets over a calm sea as the illuminations come on around the harbour.
Long term weather forecast is good, looking forward to a long hot summer. Soon it will be the next bank holiday with lots of visitors here again.

The English Riviera Tourism Company is to visit the Travel Exhibition in Berlin this year to try to set up deals with German tour operators to get more visitors to come to Torbay.
A new Agatha Christie package has been put together in German ready for the new tourists.

It has been reported that Torbay is the number one location for tourists wanting to book a self catering holiday beating 800 other destinations this year.
Blue Chip Holidays in Brixham said bookings are up 86% compared to last year. They are now looking at expanding their accommodation.
This is good news for the Bay and lets hope this trend continues with the Hotels, Guest Houses and Bed & Breakfasts. Its a good time to visit seasides in England without the problems associated with foreign travel: Extreme weather conditions, air strikes, ash clouds, poor exchange rates and increased air fares and taxes.
