Vinopolis - the City of Wine' visitor attraction on London's South Bank that opened in 1999 - has announced that it has increased its annual revenue from corporate events to 4.6 million, more than three times the amount generated after Vinopolis's first year in business.
According to chief executive Malcolm Ball: We were recently voted among the top 10 national venues for events by event industry professionals, alongside such established venues as the Science Museum, London Zoo, Hammersmith Palais, Natural History Museum, Madame Tussauds and the V&A Museum. We're delighted by the latest results and grateful to everybody who has chosen to hold their event with us in the past year. We have now established a strong position within the events industry.'
In the past year, Vinopolis has catered for 40,000 guests 10,000 of whom visited in December 2005, and more than 7,000 bookings have already been taken for the 2006 festive season.
