Liverpool plans for more cultural events after Eurovision
Liverpool is planning to capitalize on the success of hosting Eurovision and attract more cultural events to the city. The two-week event drew up to 500,000 visitors, bringing significant economic benefits to local businesses. Initial analysis revealed that a quarter of international visitors were more likely to return to Liverpool in the future. The city aims to learn from the data and ensure the sustained growth of its music and cultural scene. Survey responses indicated that visitors felt the city had sufficient transport and policing, and they considered it a safe and enjoyable place to visit. Liverpool's achievement in hosting Eurovision has been praised by government officials and cultural organizers, who recognize the city's potential to host more globally significant events. A comprehensive report on Eurovision's impact will be published in October, coinciding with an evaluation conference. Next year's Eurovision contest will be held in Malmö, Sweden.For more details, read the full article at: https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-merseyside-66216753
