leisure strategy to transform the NEC campus into a 24-hour leisure and entertainment destination, and has helped us to increase campus footfall, reaching 7.5 million in 2018.” Ian Bennett, operations director for Resorts World Birmingham,
said: “Visitors to the arena are increasingly using Resorts World to add to their visit whether as a pre-event venue or to extend their experience post-show. “Therefore, it makes sense to align the two venues under one brand.”
