Maidenhead & Windsor

The excellent quality of service visitors receive at Windsor and Maidenhead Royal Windsor Information Centre has made it 'a gold medallist of tourism', according to national tourism agency VisitBritain.

On Tuesday September 25 the centre in Windsor Royal Station will be awarded an official plaque which recognises the high standard of information its staff provides to visitors. It is awarded on behalf of VisitBritain's Official Partner programme, a new scheme which aims to improve tourist information provision. The new sign tells visitors to Royal Windsor Information Centre they can expect reliable information and sound advice.

Less than half of the 500 information outlets in England will receive the plaque.

The borough's plaque will be presented at 11.30am in the Old Booking Hall by representatives from Tourism South East – the regional tourist board.

Windsor and Maidenhead Cllr Elisabeth Barton, chairman of the visitor management forum, said: "We are proud to live in such a beautiful part of Britain which is a leading destination for visitors.

"With such wonderful attractions as Windsor Castle, Legoland, the Great Park, Eton College, Windsor Wheel and the river, our visitor centre is inundated with enquiries and the outstanding service provided by staff explains why the centre has been awarded this quality status."

VisitBritain has described the Official Partners as 'the gold medallists of tourism' who deliver an 'excellent service'.
