Improvement Districts
The latest updates and developments
Thursday 15th March 2012
1.45pm - 2.45pm
NEC Birmingham

Tourism Business Improvement Districts represent a way for destinations to raise revenue to be used directly for marketing and development purposes in the local area where the funding is raised. In the current climate of restricted central funding, are TBIDs the route to successful private sector funding and decision making? There are many examples in the United States where the approach has been applied - would it work in the UK?
FInd out the background and hear the pros and cons on this very topical subject.

On the panel:
Chairman: Kurt Janson MTS - Policy Director, Tourism Alliance
John Hallett MTS - Managing Director, Destination Bristol
Tim Manson MTS - Operations & Policy Director, Marketing Birmingham
Jason Freezer - Head of Destination Management, VisitEngland
Richard Matthews - Midlands Secretary BBPA and board member of Nottingham Leisure BID
