  1. Aside from the fact that as an international tourism destination we should have a tourism information centre why does this Council owned building in a key location in the city centre remain vacant and run down?

    1. Totally agree with John Cox. What a crying shame this historic building in prime location is left empty. The majority of tourists to Bath are dumbfounded at the city not having a Tourist Office.
      Volunteers could run it.

  2. Please please please… bring it back!!!!

    Can we have a local campaign, spearheaded by yourself, Richard, to reinstate a much missed, much needed, and much requested Tourist Office.

    It’s the number one thing all tourists and visitors (and locals) to Bath are dumbfounded by: why is there not a Tourist Info Centre in World Heritage Bath.

  3. False economy closing the tourist centre and spending the money on that pointless new visitor booth further up York Street.

  4. Shame on Bath! I find it’s my overseas – as in ‘continental’ – clients who are most surprised that a double World Heritage City has neither a tourist office of easily accessible public toilets.

  5. The Tourist Office once occupied a prime location opposite the entrance to the Pump Room. It was then moved to the ill-fated Colonnades Shopping Centre in a failed attempt to increase footfall there.
