The region is attracting an increasing number of visitors from the Far East. Birmingham left London in the shade in the tourism stakes in 2014 with a record 32 per cent increase in visitors – as millions flocked to the second city from the US and China.

The city welcomed unprecedented tourist numbers in the last 12 months with a total of 34 million visitors spending more than £5 billion, according to Marketing Birmingham.

The influx saw Birmingham’s tourist and business visitors grow by a record 32 per cent compared to London’s growth of just 8.9 per cent, said the agency.
