Share article:	Tweet

Liverpool has broken its hotel-booking record set in its European Capital of Culture year 2008.

July of this year saw almost 95,000 rooms booked, compared to 78,000 in July 2009 and 86,000 in July 2008, the year Liverpool was declared a European Capital of Culture.

A total of 486,401 rooms were sold across the destination between January and June 2010, exceeding 2008 by 11 per cent.

Visit Liverpool says the surge in bookings is due in part to several conferences and events held in the area, as well as several consumer and business tourism marketing initiatives.
