Visitor Information Hubs
Direct visitors to our visually inviting Visitor Information Hubs found in St Just and Pendeen, 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 (we hope) The Library in St Just
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 XplorTinCoast App 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.
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.
