There are certain places in the world that just need a little attention; if done so, it can be turned into one of the best tourist attractions ever. This town called Denton in Manchester is the best example of that. Earlier, it was known to be a ghost town; but a restaurateur helped the place become a tourist spot. This town in the UK, Manchester, called Denton used to be a ghost town, only visited by reported 49 tourists every year. But today it is considered a famous tourist spot, which offers a range of fancy restaurants and beautiful scenery for the visitors. So, how did this change happen?

Yusuf Cheyan, a local restaurateur, explained how this change in the town of Denton came about. According to him, he gauged the potential of this place first, and then opened a restaurant called Tapas. Because of that, the locals from the surrounding areas started to visit the place. Gradually, the place started to gain popularity; in five years, the place completely transformed.

Within these five years, Yusuf successfully opened three restaurants. These restaurants were not the only factor which helped popularise the place, it also had other attractions which included night spots.
