Hide AdEastbourne’s Visitor Services Centre has been named as a finalist in the ‘coveted’ ‘visitor information service of the year’ category - which recognises visitor information providers that offer an ‘exceptional’ standard of service and appropriate information.
Located within the ‘state-of-the-art’ Welcome Building, this is the third time that Eastbourne’s visitor services have been shortlisted for the award, having previously won gold and silver in 2016 and 2018.
Having been awarded ‘commended’ status in the 2020/21 awards, the DQ Terrace Bar and Café has also been selected as a finalist for the ‘taste of the South East award’.
The category recognises establishments within the tourism industry that offer service innovation and excellence alongside an inclusive menu.
