LONDON, Nov. 10 (Xinhua) -- Britain's most famous playwright William Shakespeare is being used to help spearhead a new drive to attract overseas tourists to the Midlands area of England.

VisitBritain said Birmingham Airport, the West Midlands Growth Company and Marketing Peak District & Derbyshire Alshon Jeffery Jersey , have also joined the partnership.

Together, the organisations will market Birmingham and the surrounding areas to a global audience and convert inspiration to visit into bookings, and promote direct flights to the area.

There are few towns of that size that attract so many visitors from home and overseas Nelson Agholor Jersey , particularly as the town centre only covers one square mile."

"Although he wrote his famous plays centuries ago, his story lines, covering love, loss, marriage Sidney Jones Jersey , combats between families, are as relevant today. His work remerges as modern day stories, such as in the musical Guys and Dolls, which is essentially the story of Romeo and Juliet."

West Midlands Growth Company Director of Marketing and Communications Emma Gray said: "Birmingham and its surrounding areas have become increasingly popular tourist destinations, attracting some 1.5 million international visitors in 2015."
