The newly opened Information Centre in Birmingham city centre is in an ideal location to attract visitors and with a TWM member of staff being stationed there, it gives the opportunity for bus information to be given quickly and promptly."Jenny Young, Visitor Services Manager at Marketing Birmingham said; "The Information Centre attracts around 6,000 visitors each month and provides an information service on all aspects of the city, from what?s on at the theatre, to where to shop, what restaurants to eat in and which hotels to stay at. However, due to the location of the centre a high percentage of enquiries relate to bus travel and we are delighted that TWM will now be on hand to provide expert advice to people travelling in and around the city."Marketing Birmingham is the destination marketing agency for the Birmingham city region. It is a public-private partnership supported financially by Birmingham City Council and some 400 member companies.
