Birmingham seeks to maximize tourism impact of Commonwealth Games

Commonwealth Games

A program to maximize the long-term economic impact made by the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games has been unveiled.

It is expected to attract up to an additional 39,000 visitors for the UK until 2027, with an estimated £12 million in visitor spend.

The Business and Tourism Program (BATP) will build on the profile created by the games to attract more visitors, trade, events, and investment from key overseas markets into the UK.

It will concentrate on nations and territories across the Commonwealth, plus the domestic UK market.

The BATP will operate from early 2021 until the end of 2023.

It aims to create a long-term economic legacy for Birmingham, the West Midlands, and more widely across the UK in England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland.

The program is also designed to secure more than £650 million of new overseas investment and create £7 million of additional export deals.

Combined with its business and leisure tourism activity, the BATP is expected to create some 1,000 new jobs, with up to 600 of these roles based in the West Midlands.

Nigel Huddleston, minister for sport and tourism, said: “Birmingham 2022 is a massive investment and tourism opportunity for the UK.

“This program is designed to ensure that businesses in the West Midlands and across the country can seize this opportunity and capitalize on the profile of the games and its audience of 1.5 billion people.

“We want to level-up the country and help the tourism sector bounce back swiftly in the aftermath of coronavirus.

“This campaign will enhance the global reputation of Birmingham, the West Midlands, and the UK as a leading destination for trade, investment, and tourism.”

A schedule of dedicated domestic, international and cultural festival campaigns will target potential visitors and the travel trade.

Activities will include a central media program, familiarization trips, and attendance at international travel trade events and overseas events.

A digital visitor information network will deliver targeted visitor information to improve perceptions of the West Midlands and its digital prowess, complemented by information kiosks in the region.

A business readiness program will train hospitality, transport, and retail staff to become ambassadors and hosts, ensuring that visitors experience a memorable West Midlands welcome during the Commonwealth Games.

VisitBritain chief executive, Sally Balcombe, added: “We know there is pent-up demand for travel and Birmingham 2022 gives us a fantastic and valuable opportunity to highlight our outstanding tourism offer, keeping the UK front-of-mind to drive future trips as well as providing a boost for tourism businesses once people can start traveling again.

“We have seen the positive impact that major sporting events such as the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games and the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games can have on a country’s international standing.

“The upcoming Birmingham Commonwealth Games will drive visitors to explore more of the country, stimulating spend in the tourism sector in the lead-up to the games and beyond, as well as demonstrating the UK’s ability to host events of the highest calibre.”

BATP activity will be supporting the Queen’s Baton Relay and the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games Cultural Program.
