Visit York unveils new information centre
Tourism agency Visit York has unveiled a new visitor information centre, following the completion of a £900,000 project to replace an existing facility.
The new Visit York Information Centre, which is housed within a Grade II-listed building on Museum Street, is designed to act as a gateway for visitors and residents to the city and surrounding region. York Conservation Trust, regional development agency Yorkshire Forward, the City of York Council, and tourism agency Welcome to Yorkshire have supported the development of the new centre.
Facilities include an accommodation booking service, an itinerary planning service and a shop selling locally-produced goods. An exhibition space has also been unveiled. Visit York chief executive Gillian Cruddas said: "Everything we've put into the design, gift sourcing and information is planned with the visitor in mind.
"Our aim is to make this centre a flagship for Yorkshire and the very best information service in the country, using the very latest technology - a centre of excellence." Image: Visit York visitor services manager Chris Morton (left) with actors from city-based productions
