Liverpool Named Best UK City

Liverpool has been named the Best UK City by travel industry professionals, beating off stiff competition from Cardiff, London and York.

Readers of Group Leisure – the UK’s number one monthly magazine for group travel organisers – voted the city as their favourite choice.

The announcement was made last night (Wednesday, 21 September), at the annual Group Leisure Awards ceremony held at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole, presented by actor Gary Lucy and Group Leisure magazine editor, Rob Yandell.

The accolade comes just weeks after readers of Condé Nast Traveller voted Liverpool as the UK’s Friendliest City for a second successive year.

Lorraine Rogers, Chief Executive of The Mersey Partnership – official Tourist Board for Liverpool City Region – commented: “It is a fantastic accolade for Liverpool to be voted the Best UK City by readers of Group Leisure magazine. The destination has benefited from major investment in recent years, resulting in new attractions, hotels and events which, together with our rich culture and heritage, play a vital part in attracting first time visitors and encouraging others to return.
