City of London Visitor Strategy 2013-2017

During the last decade the City Corporation’s growing recognition of the importance of visitor issues and its development of visitor services has led it to create a portfolio of activity which not only supports corporate aims, but makes a valued contribution to wider London and government agendas.  The previous versions of the Visitor Strategy have provided a rationale, a plan and a showcase for these activities and the latest updated version is now recommended for ratification and adoption. A separately printed report has been circulated to Members seeking endorsement of the actions contained within the Strategy and the need to recognise the growing importance of the visitor and tourism agenda to the activities of the City and we recommend approval thereof.
