The city has something to offer everyone.”Confidential's Editor-at-Large and Blue Badge Guide, Jonathan Schofield, says:You can smell it in Manchester city centre. 'The one-time engine room of the Industrial Revolution has found a new groove for the 21st century as a dynamo of culture and the arts', reads the guide.Naturally, football gets a run out, with Old Trafford and the Etihad Stadium declared 'life-changing experiences' (they clearly weren't at the last Derby), alongside Salford's multi-arts space, Islington Mill, and the effervescent Levenshulme Market.The entry highlights Strangeway Prison's 71m ventilation tower as Manchester's 'most bizarre sight', while Manchester House, Great John Street Hotel and the Manchester Craft & Design Centre take best restaurant, hotel and shopping experience respectively.James Smart, Lonely Planet’s Destination Editor for the UK and Ireland, said:"Manchester has been transformed in recent years, with inspirational new openings, the reinvention of existing spaces and vast investment. Whatever experience travellers are after – culture, sport, shopping, nightlife – they won’t come away from Manchester disappointed. Aoo.Lonely Planet's Top 10 Must-Visit Cities For 2016Manchester has become the 'UK's cultural boomtown' thanks to cultural institutions such as The WhitworthThe entry trumpets Manchester as the 'UK's cultural boomtown', citing the reopening of the Whitworth and the Central Library, the launch of HOME and plans for the £110m Factory theatre as a key draw for visitors. The cut in the list of the best travel list for 2019 by Lonely Planet, and its easy to see why.
On Tuesday a colleague had 25 people on the tour.Unlike the regular walks programme of speciality tours these are general, and rather than a local audience it attracts international visitors and those from other parts of the UK. On average 10-12 people have arrived on each occasion. That’s every day, year round.
And we do all this without any geography, no dramatic hills or broad river. We are way beyond being all about United. The mix of endless festivals, superb attractions and a good range of hotels, bars, pubs, restaurants and so on is a winner. It’s not me saying this, it’s my visitors - for instance, not one of the 500 people I took round on tours during this year's Manchester International Festival had a negative word to say.
The ‘Gardens’ are a disgrace, a shame on our city.Despite such problems Lonely Planet’s choice of Manchester as one of the top ten city picks in 2016 is deserved. Also inexplicable is the state of Piccadilly so-called ‘Gardens’, broken fountain, horrible lawns, hideous wall. The city council’s and Transport for Greater Manchester’s bizarre infrastructure policy of narrowing key arteries such as Portland Street and Deansgate, often dangerously, remains unexplained seemingly designed to drive people away. The decline of city centre top end retailing is worrying. There are clouds on the horizon.
In a time of deep council cuts, they should be out litter-picking around their premises, getting the hanging baskets out, showing pride, creating identity. I can see, in my mind’s eye, the selfies being taken by the Morrissey and Marr acolytes right now at the Smiths’ statue.Far more profoundly I’d like bars and restaurants, shops and businesses in Manchester to get involved. We need a regular boat link to the Quays from the city centre, we need the Town Clock Tower open every day for visitors, we need the Great Northern Tunnel opened to the public, we need a daily ghost tour and so on.In the same vein I reckon we should make Piccadilly Gardens, debased as it is, a gallery of statuary of famous Greater Mancunians. Now we have to continue building on the appeal of the place.I’d like this to happen in two main ways.I’d like Manchester to work hard to tick all the typical tourist boxes that are standard in other European cities. The moaners in other words.
Tourism shouldn't be a bonus for the city it should be part of the business plan and not just for the city council, tourist attractions and the relevant city agencies, but for all of us. But we all have a part to play in making the benefits tourism brings an accepted norm of city life rather than something we are still surprised about. Manchester is on the move. Meanwhile Castlefield Forum has shown how central residents can make a difference.Tourism is on the rise. Castlefield Estates around Dukes 92 and Bass Warehouse are exemplary with this.
