Record visitor numbers for Merseyside
July was a record month for visitors to Merseyside as the opening of the Museum of Liverpool and two new hotels attracted more people to the region.
The Mersey Partnership (TMP) said 222,000 hotel rooms were sold across the city region in July – 12,000 more than the previous highest recorded month of October 2010.
TMP’s chief executive, Lorraine Rogers, said: “These figures are encouraging news for the visitor economy, especially during this challenging economic climate – and are a very strong indication that we are not only maintaining out momentum but moving in the right direction and becoming one of the top international destinations to visit. It’s a challenging time but the underlying trend shows the destination’s appeal is growing at an impressive rate.”
