Devon Tourism: The Story of the County’s Economic Leviathan Stephen Essex, BA, PhD, FRGS, MHEA, MRTPI and Mark Brayshay, BA, PhD School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences, University of Plymouth Over the past 149 volumes of these Transactions, fewer than half a dozen papers have focused directly on tourism in Devon. Given its key role in shaping the county’s history, landscape and infrastructure, and its contemporary social and economic character, such a dearth of studies is striking and contrasts with the burgeoning body of scholarly work on Devon tourism aired elsewhere. The aim of this paper is to offer a broad, benchmark review of the origins, historical growth and changing character, as well as the contemporary state and future prospects, of tourism in the county. -
