The measures are designed to help families enjoy more affordable days out during the summer holidays.
VisitLiverpool’s ‘Summer starts Here’ campaign will deliver a digital marketing campaign targeting key national audiences – London / South Midlands / Milton Keynes / West Midlands and North Wales – to drive family visits and overnight stays through value-led growth.
