- 28. How is it funded? The principal source of TBID funding will be an annual levy which will be applied to all hotels and serviced accommodation providers with 30 or more bedrooms in Birmingham and Solihull. A REVPAR based formula is proposed; based on the formula below: Total number of bedrooms for a particular hotel x 365 x average annual RevPAR per day per bedroom = Y (n.b., ‘RevPAR’ is calculated by multiplying ‘Bedroom Occupancy’ by ‘Average Achieved Room Rate’). The levy is then calculated by multiplying Y by the relevant geographic % levy

We need to FOCUS and work together. We need to INVEST in our future, so we can GROW our markets. The creation of a TBID for Birmingham & Solihull is an opportunity for you to shape the development and promotion of Birmingham and Solihull as a visitor destination. It is your chance to work with partners to bring more custom to the region, build your business and boost the area’s reputation.
Notas del editor
- We’re reflecting on a strong performance across our business areas. In the first full year of operation, Business Birmingham has not only refined its strategy into one of the keenest inward investment strategies of any UK city, it has also delivered where it matters: in the securing of projects that create jobs. We’ve continued our positive trajectory in attracting more visitors to the city, not only has the number of people coming here increased, the value of their spend to the economy also grew. In an exceptionally competitive market, we’ve worked in partnership with The NEC Group, our Universities and a host of other venues to develop a strong pipeline of national and international event bids. We’re also using the intelligence capabilities of the Observatory to ensure our strategies and propositions are powered buythe most up to date and insightful data possible – helping us make the business case for Birmingham in all of our programme areas.
- Between 2010 and 2012 (latest available data) private sector firms in the Greater Birmingham and Solihull LEP area created nearly 40,000 jobs – 10% of the national total and more than any other LEP area outside London.
- What impact is this activity having on the performance of our hotels? RevPAR – widely accepted metric to measure the performance of hotels and whilst there’s been a welcome uplift on the performance of the city’s hotels in 2013 compared to the previous 12 months, the reality is we still lag behind most other UK cities when we compare RevPAR figures. Number of reasons for this, not least of all the increased supply we’ve seen from new hotels coming into the market in the last few years. Arguably still over reliant on business visitors and conference and event visitors and there’s an increasing recognition that to achieve a step change in RevPAR and hotel performance will take a different way of doing things.
- The visitor economy remains a key driver of the city’s wider economy The Champions Trophy cricket has helped our profile in India for example, putting Birmingham in front of around 1 billion potential visitors Our profile as a food destination continues to grow, cemented by a raft of events and marketing opportunities over the summer months, not least of all through our Birmingyum campaign Also seen the Discovery Festival, which is still in full swing and the 4 Squares Festival a few weeks ago, all helping drive visitors into the city, staying in our hotels and spending money in our economy. Mentioned earlier our success in group travel awards, important section of the market, we’ve been focused on engaging trade effectively and helping them package the Birmingham offer, not just at a national level but also in China, Australia, the US and Japan. The city is also well placed this week to pick up an international accolade for its floral expertise and use of public spaces from Entente Florale, an international competition - we understand the results of which will be announced in the next couple of days.
- Fitting that today we are in this fantastic building, the new Library of Birmingham. The media coverage from the opening of these magnificent facilities has placed the national and international spotlight firmly on the city and created a debate not just about the role of libraries in the twenty first century, but also a dialogue that is helping once again to position Birmingham as a confident city, that is forging it s own path in economic and cultural regeneration terms. There’s no doubt this is a facility we can be proud of as Brummies and it also one that will attract people from far afield to experience it for themselves. You may wish to reference the reaction of the site selectors recently to this building and their impressions of Birmingham. George Pretty said: “Although I have visited Birmingham several times on business, before taking part in the tour last week, I was surprised to see the scale and pace of change playing out across the city. These are exciting times for Birmingham, driven by the passion, commitment and determination of its civic and business leadership. I have no doubt that Birmingham will continue to thrive as a world-class investment destination, affording expanded economic growth for its people.”
- Recent announcement of Air India route, which is already performing strongly, was a very positive step. They to long term economic growth remains in establishing greater connectivity, not just in the UK, where HS2 is so important, but right across the globe. Opportunity presented by runway extension and longer term development potential is significant but it is not a sliver bullet. In a competitive market place we need to demonstrate that Birmingham is a sound investment. Supporting the airport team in making business cases to secure new routes, working hard to position our product with business and travel trade and exploring opportunities to utilise Birmingham as a key gateway for the UK and international visitors. Working in key territories with Visit Britain, Visit England and UKTI to ensure Birmingham is seen as a viable alternative to London.

- Collaborative campaign = 15 partner The 'Now Trending in Birmingham' aims to move away from traditional Christmas tourism campaigns that ‘talks at’ visitors, instead it will uses the words of visitors to inspire tourists to Birmingham, the Black Country and Solihull. Strong digital camapign the actual sentiment of visitors based on social media channels, as we believe that by celebrating the actual views of visitors and using their voice (‘work of mouth’) will provide increased engagement with prospective visitors. Furthermore, we considering that this approach will make the campaign more believable, human and authentic – which is aligned to our destination brand model.
