Welcome to Manchester!
At the dawn of the 19th-century, Manchester emerged as the world's first industrial city. Initially powered by the textile trade, the northern boomtown helped define the quintessential characteristics of the urban metropolis for the working class. It was the birthplace of many innovations and concepts that shaped modern life as we know it — the first passenger railway, the first programmable computer, the Atomic Theory, Britain's suffragette movement, and vegetarianism, just to name a few!

From its former reputation as the legendary 'Cottonopolis' to its post-war reincarnation as a cultural tour de force, Manchester is a top-notch destination that's truly worth visiting. The proud industrial heritage can still be seen and felt — especially through its resilient and hardworking citizens appropriately symbolized by the city's worker bee mascot — but everything has an extra layer of creativity, passion, and artistic prowess that further augments the city's progressive past.

This online resource compiles essential information about Manchester including collaterals such as videos, images, and a comprehensive destination e-Brochure. Through these assets, you can inspire your clients to dream about visiting Manchester and the United Kingdom as soon as travel resumes!
