Manchester Accommodation Business Improvement District
The Manchester Accommodation Business Improvement District (BID) is a direct response to the challenges currently facing the accommodation sector in Manchester.
The scheme is led by the Manchester Hoteliers’ Association in partnership with Marketing Manchester, CityCo and both Manchester City Council and Salford City Council.
Any paid accommodation business within the Manchester Accommodation BID zone that has a rateable value of £75,000 or more is subject to the charge.
The BID charge is collected by the Council and paid to the Manchester Accommodation BID who will use the funds to:
- amplify marketing campaigns that drive overnight stays
- help secure large-scale events, conferences, and festivals in low-season months
- improve guest welcome and street cleanliness and
- provide opportunities to futureproof the city’s growing accommodation sector and wider visitor economy.
