City Welcome
Making an impact – improving the city’s welcome
This strand of work enhances the visitor experience in Manchester by expanding the city host scheme, supporting city centre cleaning, and improving security reporting so partners can respond quickly and consistently.
What we do
Key Successes
Public Safety Kits Distributed
Accommodation BID funding enabled the rollout of emergency trauma kits to 77 city‑centre hotels, equipping hospitality colleagues across Manchester with vital life‑saving equipment and strengthening the city’s preparedness and resilience.
City Welcome Launch
The Manchester Accommodation BID introduced street cleaning teams and expanded City Hosts around hotels and key gateways, improving cleanliness, wayfinding and first impressions for visitors staying in the city centre.
BCRP Membership Offered
Prior to the launch of the Manchester Accommodation BID, membership of the Business Crime Reduction Partnership (BCRP) was a subscription-based service. From the outset of the Accommodation BID, BCRP membership has been included for all levy payers, ensuring consistent access to vital safety, security and training opportunities for hospitality staff across the city.
