Visitor centre in the City Centre demolished due to an increased demand for information online. Marketing Birmingham has demolished the visitor centre on New Street in the City Centre due to an increased demand for information online. Chief executive of Marketing Birmingham, Neil Rami, told the Birmingham Post in May: Traffic to the visitbirmingham website more than doubled between 2010 and 2014, alongside growth in social media engagement. Visitors are increasingly seeking out information online and better provision of on-street information across the city centre is helping them navigate the area themselves while here. The provision of travel information points in New Street Station, delivered by Centro, and the Library of Birmingham’s VisitEngland accredited Info Point, mean there are physical sources of information for those who require it. The move away from physical visitor services is a response to an increasing customer appetite for online information. By prioritising our budget to reflect demand, we are better equipped to help grow the city’s tourism sector as effectively and cost efficiently as possible.” The visitor centre, which has been closed for a few months, was demolished by City Demolition earlier in the week. City Demolition (@CityDemolition), tweeted earlier today (16/08): Say goodbye to the information centre which we carefully dismantled and took down this week in Birmingham city centre.
