Waterstones

It is well recognised that tourist information centre staff do an excellent job in delivering rich information to visitors to their destination but not all centres benefit from a high profile high street presence.

VisitEngland has developed a partnership with Waterstones bookstores placing information leaflet stands in a selection of their stores  - 33 in total to date - with the aim of widening the information available to visitors and better serving their needs. This project is on-going and the same opportunity will be explored by VisitEngland with like partners. 

Neil McCullum, Tourism Manager at Canterbury said:

"This project proved very successful for Canterbury as it allowed us to provide an additional outlet for information in city. It fits in with our strategic objectives to take information to visitors rather than expecting them to come to a single point."
