The Beatles Story on Albert Dock in Liverpool saw a visitor increase of 17 per cent last year compared to 2005.
More than 200,000 people visited the attraction, based on the history of the Fab Four, which also led to a 14 per cent growth in staff.
Its success is being put down to the overseas market, which makes up almost half of its visitors. The Living History Tour – which goes from 1950s Liverpool to Hamburg and through the hysteria of Beatlemania to the band’s break up – is available in seven languages, with Wimbledon Tennis Club being the only other UK attraction to offer more translations.
The Beatles Story, established in 1990, is divided into 18 separate sections and features the voices of Brian Epstein, Sir Paul McCartney, Allan Williams, Sir George Martin and Cynthia Lennon. Details: www.beatlesstory.com
