New figures on tourism in Carlisle have revealed that the industry is more important to the Cumbrian city than was previously realised. Calculations show that the 8 million visitors that Carlisle attracts brings £330 million to the city’s economy, almost three times than was thought.
Marie Whitehead, director of Carlisle Tourism Partnership, said: “The new figures are the most robust, the most up-to-date and the most rigorously tested that we can have and are independently produced. We have always believed that Carlisle is worth shouting about and can become a major player in tourism not just in Cumbria but in the region.”
