In this episode of Vicinity and Beyond, Henry Jinman and Dr. Julie Grail dive into a fast-evolving issue: Are Accommodation BIDs (ABIDs) becoming victims of their own success?
We explore:
✅ Comments and updates since our last episode—especially Liverpool’s shift in model
✅ Practical advice for placemakers and BIDs considering ABID models
✅ The tricky question: could ABIDs pave the way for city-wide tourist taxes that ultimately make them obsolete?
📌 Key questions we tackle:
– What’s happened in Liverpool and why it matters
– Do tourist taxes threaten the future of ABIDs?
– What if ABIDs prove tourist taxes don’t hurt tourism?
– And what should BIDs and placemakers do now to prepare?
Plus: We share practical tips for BIDs looking to creating an ABID and engaging hotels.
