<p>We know from the excellent report prepared by the UK National Commission for UNESCO
that UNESCO designations such as World Heritage status are worth over £150 million
a year to communities across the UK and in its Overseas Territories, as well as contributing
to sustainable development and other policy goals. We do not have a precise figure
which can be attributed to the world heritage site of Liverpool Maritime Mercantile
City, but we know that many international tourists are keen to visit the UK’s 32 world
heritage sites, with concomitant economic benefits across the tourism and hospitality
sector.</p>
