Catedral de Liverpool forneceu o cenário deslumbrante para os prêmios de turismo da região de Liverpool City. Os elogios para novos negócios de turismo do ano, herói e turismo fora do ano! Reconhecendo o segredo mais bem guardado da região, foi para o pátio de ônibus - dois ônibus convertidos de dois andares que operam em Crosby Marina e Liverpool One. O cobiçado hotel do ano foi para o Hope Street Hotel. Recepção de bebidas patrocinadas pela Virgin Experience Days e Liverpool Football Club e entretenimento do coro local muito vocal. Ver tantas entradas não apenas mostra como esses prêmios são de prestígio, mas também a quantidade de concorrência saudável que temos - o que continua a aumentar os padrões do turismo. Como setor de crescimento, isso traz benefícios econômicos e aumenta a reputação da região da cidade. Parabéns enormes a todos os vencedores, bem como às empresas e indivíduos selecionados. As pessoas e as empresas que entregam este trabalho merecem reconhecimento, e estamos muito satisfeitos por todos os vencedores do setor. Foi um ano tão forte e positivo para nossa economia de turismo e visitantes. Vimos isso em primeira mão, no primeiro ano operacional da oferta de acomodação, que fornece uma plataforma para o hotel e setor de acomodações com manutenção. O Eurovision é a principal manchete, é claro, mas houve eventos e atividades incríveis, dia após dia, para ajudar a tornar esta cidade mundial. ”
