| When travelling in Britain it is always useful to have an information point nearby to help with sightseeing and directions. Tourist information companies and Tourist Boards offer this valuable service. The best and most reliable method of obtaining comprehensive tourist information is to contact a tourist information board, either by visiting a local tourist information office or by calling. Each area of England, Scotland and Wales has a tourist board assigned to it. They will provide tourist information regarding: events, things to do, shows, eating out, local history, music, exhibitions, theatres, art, cinema and provide travel aids such as maps and guides. London’s information can be gained from the London Tourist Board, information on Edinburgh can be derived from the Edinburgh and Lothians Tourist Board or for Scotland in general contact the Scottish Tourist Board, for information on Wales the Wales Tourist board should be telephoned and for information on all areas of Britain one can approach the British Tourist Authority. |
| Another highly dependable source of Tourist information are tourist information points and shops dotted in and around cities, towns, villages, in airports and major train stations. The information they provide will be based on the local area and they will also supply you with maps and guides, give advice on a multitude of attractions, on sightseeing and events, recommend the places to go and the places to avoid, restaurants to suit your budget, the main shopping areas and where to catch a play or see band play. Tourist information can be gained in several ways in Britain and is never hard to find whether it be a Tourist board or a small local shop in a country village the quality of information provided will always be of a high standard. |
