Town tourist service boost A NEW tourist information service is coming to a mar- ket town which is referred to as the birthplace of the British tourist industry. The county-run Tourist Information Centre in the Market House in Ross-on- Wye was shut down a con- ple of years ago. And now a group has been set up to bring a co-ordinat- ed tourist information ser— vice to the town by having five bases, which are yet to be announced, from March 1. The service, which will include an events round—up, a town map, and informa- tion about the area. will be based in shops and pubs. The idea comes from the newly-formed Ross Tour- ism Association. Yolande Watson. from the By Rebecca Cain 01432845883 rcaQ heretordtimes com Twitter? . r'HTNewsroom group, said: “It is really ex- citing because a) Ross does need a tourist information service. We found out dur- ing a meeting with Visit Herefordshire that Ross-on- Wye is searched for more than Hereford on their website. Rosson-Wye is the birthplace of tourism— it has a long history” She said a lot of tourists ask traders questions about the area, and by providing this service they will be of- fering consistency and co- operation. The Hereford Tourist In- formation Centre in King Street closed in December 2010. The space was then occupied by the Visit Here- fordshire group, which then moved to Hereford Town Hall, when Herefordshire Council said there would no further funding for the or- ganisation from this Apr il. The county council not longer funds any tourist in- formation services. The service in Leominster, Ledbury, Kington and Bro- myard' is run by volunteers. The Ross group is going to ask for donations.
