Torquay forms a third of Torbay. If it was made a city it is thought that it would rank as the 45th largest city in the United Kingdom. No wonder Torquay is bustling during the day and buzzing at night. Being the heart of Torbay business and commerce it provides great support to the main economy of tourism.

Accommodation and attractions provide the backbone to tourism. Visitors enjoy the ambience and variety of Torquay shopping experience and entertainment. The continental flavour, especially by the harbour encourages them to enjoy a coffee, select lunch from a variety of restaurants, or just relax and take in the seascape.

Of course Torquay is a WKD town!! This renowned business and their other famous drinks have their headquarters in Torquay. An effervescent culture which stimulates other businesses. Major accountants have offices in Torquay. Perhaps it's the setting and ambience that encourages the money teams. All the major banks are here and most building societies.

Commerce needs supporting with professional services. Solicitors practices, estate agents, surveyors, recruitment agencies all provide support to the wealth of Torquay businesses and commerce. Newspapers and radio stations ensure that everybody is kept informed.

Access is also convenient. Torquay has rail connections to all parts of the UK. Just over 30 miles away is Exeter Airport ready to receive tourists from throughout Europe. The main road into Torquay feeds naturally into the motorway network covering the whole of the UK.

No wonder Torquay is so highly regarded. The next target is to receive the Purple Flag - the gold standard award for hospitality and entertainment.
