Liverpool predicted to get £40m Eurovision boost in visitor spending

Extra 100,000 visitors expected amid 1bn lift for UK hospitality in May helped by coronation, bank holidays and Eurovision

Liverpool is likely to receive a 40m boost as tens of thousands of Eurovision fans descend on the city to celebrate the annual song contest next week.

Liverpool, which saw off Glasgow to be chosen as host after last year's winners, Ukraine, were unable to hold the event amid Russia's invasion, is expecting an influx of visitors.
