曾因电视剧《Fawlty Towers》的讽刺描绘而名誉受损的英国德文郡托基,如今正通过大规模改造项目实现品牌回归。1托贝委员会推出了为期20年的改造计划,投资总额达1.12亿英镑(2.26亿美元),其中包括对废弃的德本汉姆百货商店进行改造。1这一地区在19世纪曾被营销为"英国里维埃拉",吸引大批游客前往。1
当地通过发展多个产业来提升地区吸引力。德文郡现有约20家注册酒庄,并正在成为英国主要的工匠奶酪、草饲肉类和苹果生产地。1此外,托基正在恢复新艺术风格建筑托基馆(被称为"托基的快乐宫殿")。1
Torquay, the Devon coastal town whose reputation was tarnished by the satirical television series Fawlty Towers, is staging a dramatic comeback through an ambitious regeneration strategy 1. The Torbay area, which includes Torquay, Paignton, and Brixham, was marketed as the "English Riviera" during the 19th century and attracted large numbers of visitors before facing decline 1. Now, local authorities are investing £112 million (approximately $226 million) to restore the region's status as an upscale holiday destination 1.
The transformation efforts span two decades and encompass multiple initiatives aimed at modernizing the area's appeal 1. A centerpiece of this plan involves redeveloping the former Debenhams department store, among other projects 1. Beyond property renovation, the region is cultivating new economic strengths through food and wine production, with approximately 20 registered wineries now operating across Devon and the area emerging as Britain's leading producer of artisan cheese, grass-fed meat, and apples 1. Additionally, Torquay is restoring the ornate Art Nouveau pavilion known as the Torquay Pavilion, dubbed the "pleasure palace" of Torquay, reflecting a commitment to preserving architectural heritage 1. These efforts also include developing cultural tourism tied to author Agatha Christie 1.
