History
Before 1999 it was known as the English Tourist Board and between 1999 and 2009 as the English Tourism Council. In 2003, it was absorbed into the British Tourist Authority and was relaunched as a separate body again in 2009.
In 2023, VisitEngland and VisitBritain started negotiations for office space in Birmingham. Citing the reason for this move from London was for Birmingham's good office space and large number of talented workers.[4]
