Developed in partnership with industry stakeholders and led by the Birmingham Hospitality Association with support from Birmingham Colmore, the Accommodation BID will unite Birmingham’s accommodation sector behind a shared programme of investment focused on subvention attraction, destination marketing, business advocacy, and initiatives that will attract more visitors, events and overnight stays to Birmingham.
Joanne Gray, who led the Accommodation BID development and is the co-chair of the Birmingham Hospitality Association, said: “This is a landmark moment for Birmingham's accommodation sector.
“We are thrilled that Birmingham accommodation providers have voted decisively in favour of the Accommodation BID and have recognised the benefits of coming together behind a shared vision for our city.
"The successful ballot provides us with a powerful platform to invest in Birmingham's visitor economy, strengthen our destination offer and ensure the accommodation sector has a strong, unified voice.
"We would like to thank every business that engaged with the process and supported this important initiative, we can’t wait to get started."
The BID will begin undertaking its business plan on 1 April 2027, working with accommodation providers, the Birmingham Hospitality Association, the West Midlands Growth Company and wider visitor economy partners.
Neil Rami, chief executive at West Midlands Growth Company, said: "We warmly welcome the successful ballot result and congratulate everyone involved in bringing the Accommodation BID to fruition.
"The Birmingham Accommodation BID will play a vital role in strengthening Birmingham's ability to attract major conferences, festivals, exhibitions and business events.
