What People Say

Destination benchmarking has identified key issues that needed addressing in Birmingham, particularly in relation to signage and car parking, and we are now working with our transport department to address this. In addition, in order to resolve issues flagged up relating to public toilet provision, we are now looking to work with private sector partners in our shopping centres to improve our performance. We have also passed the destination benchmarking results on to our City Centre Manager and TIC Manager.

Sarah Notman, Tourism Manager, Birmingham City Council

The destination benchmarking findings have been used in a number of ways: we have fed them through to other Council departments, particularly in relation to our public toilet provision; we have adjusted our marketing in the light of the weakness identified by the survey concerning evening entertainment; and we have used the results internally with our TIC staff to boost morale and motivation, as well as generating positive local PR.
