    Visit England Publishes Visitor Data for English Attractions in 2023

    The World Museum in Liverpool has been ranked as the number one free attraction in the North West according to Visit England’s Annual 2023 Trends Report Survey.

    The six-floor museum is located in Liverpool City Centre and was established in 1851.

    Visit England’s full report includes the top 20 lists of attractions in England divided by region and whether or not visitors pay to enter, as well as data about wider tourism trends. According to the report, attractions in England have recorded an 11% increase in visits in 2023 compared to 2022. This is still 28% below 2019 levels, as visitor volumes are still recovering from the decline caused by the pandemic. However, the data shows that the number of visits is steadily increasing.

    When it comes to types of attractions, the highest increase in visits annually was found in museums/art galleries (20%) and places of worship (19%).

      This year’s report found that all three of the top-visited free attractions in the North West were located in Liverpool. The World Museum was followed by the Maritime Museum in second place, and the Museum of Liverpool placed third.

      Other Liverpool attractions, such as the International Slavery Museum, Walker Art Gallery, and Lady Lever Art Gallery, also ranked in the top 20 free attractions list published by Visit Britain and Visit England.

      Laura Pye, Director of National Museums Liverpool, said: “We are immensely proud that World Museum has been recognised as the number one free attraction in the North West in Visit Britain’s Annual 2023 Trends Report. This, alongside the inclusion of several other National Museums Liverpool sites in the top 20, underscores the exceptional dedication of our team and the vibrant cultural offerings we provide.”

      Can Tourism and Local Attractions Affect Property Markets?

      Local attractions are one of the many features of a location that can impact the surrounding property market.

      This is most directly felt in the short-letting sector, where property owners rely on the popularity of local attractions and big events to attract guests to their holiday lets.

      Proximity to top attractions can also be a selling point for property owners in the residential buy-to-let sector, helping to attract tenants and buyers when the time comes to sell up. For example, Maritime View, a new-build development in Liverpool, is located just minutes away from the city’s historic Albert Dock, and apartments with the best view of this attraction received the most interest from buyers.
