Tourism in Woolwich

A new tourism plan for Woolwich has been announced by Visit Greenwich and the Royal Borough of Greenwich. The new plan for Woolwich has high ambitions to double the value of tourism for the area by 2020, with a potential to generate over £35million to the local economy and the creation of 900 new jobs.

The Destination Management Plan will focus on generating additional local revenue by driving up visitor numbers to Woolwich with a target of increasing revenue to £35.9million and devising a new recognisable ‘Woolwich brand’ to help improve marketing locally, nationally and with the travel industry to increase awareness of events and activities.

Visit Greenwich and the Royal Borough of Greenwich will also be working to improve local supply chains and maximising publicity locally, nationally and internationally for the cultural events programme.
