City Information Centre: Visitor Information Award

Report of the Chairman of the Culture, Heritage and Libraries Committee.

 

“The City Information Centre is pleased to announce that they have won Gold in the category Visitor Information Provider of the Year at the recent VisitEngland Awards for Excellence 2015.

 

This award puts the Centre in the number one spot for tourist information in the country. It is well deserved and an accolade that recognises the significant body of work the Centre has done for the industry - leading a national Tourist Information Centre (TIC) exchange programme, training staff for London's ambassador schemes, for the GLA and TfL amongst others, for leading London's TIC network and for delivering £3.55m in additional spend to London's tourism economy per annum.

 

I hope you will join with me in congratulating all those at the Centre for their tireless work and ambitions to place the City in such a positive light.”
