Visitor Information Hubs
Direct visitors to our visually inviting Visitor Information Hubs found in St Just, Pendeen and Penzance, a central point for practical information and local knowledge about the area. Become a recognised 'VIP', or Visitor Information Point, as a local business for sharing your own insights and warm visitor welcome.
Located at Geevor Tin Mine Museum, Pendeen and Penzance Welcome Centre
Our Hubs are set up to act as central point of local knowledge, advice and information that reinforce the Tin Coast values and messaging about harmonious tourism.
Based on a loose adaptation of a mining barrow the Hubs are a cohesive representation of the Tin Coast brand, and feature:
-
QR codes for quick access to our destination information website and Visitor Charter.
-
A magnetic and draw on map to build itinerary ideas, locate key facilities and give directions.
-
An interactive screen to access our Website and other local information sources.
-
Quotes from our Tin Coast Stories and Cornish Language translations.
Originally designed to move around the Tin Coast and West Cornwall, we learned once the Hubs were complete that the materials used to build them made them a little on the heavy side and that they are much better when they stay put. But, watch this space. We are still on track for a fully mobile offer, with a few design tweaks and change in materials we hope to have something soon.
Mobile Hubs x 4
A few design tweaks and change in materials these hubs are similar to our mining barrow hubs BUT are fully mobile, which means they can go on a tour of our network businesses.
Very lightweight and easy to stack away and carry, these Hubs have all the QR codes needed to direct visitors to local information and a handy map for you to write your own directions and itineraries on.
If your business would like to host a mobile hub get in touch with Jack.
To see one in action visit St Just Library.
Volunteer
The Hubs are at their best when there is conversation and storytelling as part of the visitor information offer.
Appreciating how valuable this role is and to support volunteers to feel confident with the practical, factual, information side of welcoming visitors we have free Visitor Information Training available for anyone and everyone who would like to support one of our Visitor Information Hubs.
Our training has been designed by Cornwall Rural Community Charity with modules that include:
If you or you know anyone might like to benefit from this training please get in touch with Delia.
