Visit London (Supplementary) [17]

  • Question by: Angie Bray
  • Meeting date: 10 November 2007
Would it be possible for you to provide us with the information of what trips have been taken by members of the Mayor's Office and where they have been taken in order to promote London?

Are there clear targets that are set on that?

Clearly one of the concerns we would have is are we getting good value for money from that? What tangible benefits are there from that investment of £6.7 million?

How many people that work in the LDA are connected to the Mayor's tourism strategy and are directly interfacing with tourism?

Sorry, can I cut across you. Why couldn't that be done by an existing organisation, like Visit London for example?

When I get this information from you which you have said you are going to provide, I will be able to see that every single visit that has been made by somebody from the Mayoral office will have led to some major advance in our relationship with that country, whether it is to do with tourism or indeed to do with environmental issues? There will always be a major measured purpose with an outcome that you can demonstrate to me?

I can understand that, but that does not sound to me like Visit London. That sounds to me like something quite separate from a budget which is about promoting tourism to London.

  • Meeting date: 10 November 2007
Would those people that do that promotional work ever be the Mayor or anybody from his office? His advisors?

Visit London (Supplementary) [9]

  • Question by: Angie Bray
  • Meeting date: 10 November 2007
Presumably there is a budget within Visit London to pay for people to travel abroad to promote London abroad, is there? How much is that approximately?

Visit London (Supplementary) [8]

  • Question by: Angie Bray
  • Meeting date: 10 November 2007
Well, their travel is paid for in order to promote London. Could you perhaps give me an example of where a trip has been taken by someone from the Mayor's Office?
