Invited to:- "A New Dawn for Tourism in Liverpool"
THIS will be
Liverpool's 4th Annual Sustainable Development of the Liverpool City
Region Conference and here at Southport & Mersey Reporter, we are
pleased to be part of it. This years focuse will be on Liverpool's
European Capital of Culture 2008 and its impact on the area for 2009
and beyond. 2008 provided a huge boost to tourism on Merseyside, for
example, the city selling an additional 160,000 additional room
nights in the city centre in 2008 compared to the previous year.
Over the Capital of Culture year, Liverpool, has shown that it can
put on world class events and get them right. The city now boasts a
new museum, a new arena and convention centre and the Liverpool One
development has drawn people back to the city centre as a shopping
destination. John Lennon Airport and a new cruise terminal ensure
that the city is well placed for receiving tourists. But that is
only the start! 2009 is still having the 08 effects, us as we go on,
where will Liverpool go next? Tourism provides a vital boost to
Liverpool’s economy and following Capital of Culture year it is
essential that Liverpool builds on this momentum and continues to
promote itself as a visitor destination.
The conference will cover the following:-
• The impact Capital of Culture year has had on increasing tourism
in the city
• The contribution of tourism to the city and the wider region
• Continuing to promote the city post Capital of Culture – the new
tourism strategy
• Maintaining tourism through the economic downturn
• Enhancing transport links to Liverpool
• Liverpool’s new cruise liner facilities and the impact on tourism
in the city
