Thanet’s Visitor Information Centre is moving into a new home, next to Margate’s newest tourist attraction.
The VIC, which is run by Thanet District Council, will move into the Droit House, next to Turner Contemporary, and is due to open to the public on Friday 1 April at 10.00am. The current VIC, which is located along the Parade in Margate will close at 5.00pm on Thursday 31 March.
Principal Visitors Services Officer, David Gonzalez, said: “This move makes sense for so many different reasons. Not only will our visitor information team be ideally placed to take full advantage of the additional visitors Turner will bring into Margate, but the centre will also be visible from the beach and the move will ensure the continued use of one of the town’s historic buildings.”
The centre will continue to provide information about visiting Thanet as a whole, with the team taking their Mobile Visitor Information Centre out to events throughout 2011. In addition, 12 Key Information Points around Thanet have information available for visitors to the area. Visitor Ambassadors are also being trained up to help ensure that visitors have an excellent experience when they come to Thanet.
Until Sunday 10 April, the Visitor Information Centre is open from Tuesdays until Saturdays from 10.00am to 5.00pm each day. From Monday 11 April, it will be open at the same times seven days a week during the summer season.
