The Liverpool City Region has suffered a 'devastating' £3 billion blow to its tourism and visitor economy over the course of the Covid-19 pandemic.
New figures lay bare the crushing impact the crisis has had on the region's vital sectors, which previously supported 55,000 jobs and generated around £5 billion each year.
Before covid arrived, Liverpool was the 5th most visited city in the UK by international visitors - reflecting its growth into a world-famous tourist destination.
