Blackpool visitors soar amid £90m investment

- By Chris Riches

BLACKPOOL is transforming its fortunes with soaring visitors and a £90million regeneration boost.

Despite being one of the UK's poorest and most deprived resorts the famous Lancashire town is experiencing a resurgence.

Earlier this month Blackpool Council unveiled the first phase of the £90million Government funding plan to demolish about 400 properties no longer fit for purpose and replace them with up to 280 bigger homes.

Now, new data show 21.5million tourists visited in 2023 - a 6% rise on 20.3million in 2022.

The figures also showed full-time jobs in tourism and hospitality hit 23,419 - up 5.3% from the previous year.
