I'm not sure if all of their reasons to why tourism is up in Manchester are right, but at least some of them are.  I think the main reasons tourism's up is that people are discovering how nice a destination it is and how inexpensive the city can be compared to London.  And they tell their friends. Visit Manchester has really done a great job promoting the city and it's paying off. Here's a trip report from Gumbo!
