Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what recent discussions she has had with Visit England on increasing tourism outside London.

Ministers and officials regularly meet with Visit England, as well as Visit Britain to actively discuss a range of issues affecting the industry. Through the £40m Discover England Fund, which aims to encourage tourists to travel outside of London, we are developing world class itineraries and new tourist products.
