Lancashire's Tourist Information Centres
There are fourteen Tourist Information Centres in Lancashire, providing an invaluable service to holidaymakers, business visitors and local residents alike. The centres offer information about the local area - What to See and Do, What’s On, Where To Stay and how to get around. They also offer a range of services which may include accommodation, event and travel booking facilities; sales of gifts, maps and books; and advice on local amenities and services. The centres work closely with local businesses in order to make sure that the information they carry is up to date, accurate and as comprehensive as possible.
The centres, sometimes also called Visitor Information Centres, are primarily run by local city or borough councils, though occasionally they have input from private stakeholders as well. They receive strong support from Lancashire and Blackpool Tourist Board which provides development funding, marketing and promotional support, training opportunities, advice on branding and display, and industry liaison.
The Lancashire Tourist Information Centres employ teams of dedicated, experienced staff who are enthusiastic and knowledgeable about their destination and the tourism businesses within it. Receiving thousands of enquiries per year via post, email and phone as well as face-to-face, Lancashire Tourist Information Centre staff will go the extra mile to make sure their visitors experience the best that Lancashire has to offer.
