Closing Liverpool’s Tourist Information Centre as part of swingeing cuts would be a “massive loss” to the visitor economy according to industry professionals.
In a matter of weeks, Liverpool Council needs to find £73m to fill its financial blackhole ahead of the next financial year. As part of the process, a number of savings have been identified including cuts to the city’s culture and visitor economy budget.
Now, traders within the tourism sector fear it could spell an end for the city’s Tourist Information Centre within Liverpool ONE with the possible loss of jobs. Members of the city council were sent an email on behalf of Liverpool Link Organisation - representing the city’s tourism industry - calling for any closure to be averted.
