Tourism related businesses in Wiltshire are performing "maginificently" according to the chief executive of VisitBritain (link below.) http://www.wiltshiretimes.co.uk/news/latestheadlines/display.var.2066435.0.tourists_spent_71m_in_wiltshire.phpTom Wright praised the county's tourism industry, which is among the best in the country, following the release of Government figures which show overseas tourists spent £71m in the county in 2006, up £7m from the year before. Unfortunately, someone has posted a rather derogatory comment about Melksham Tourist Information Centre and its staff. |

I have added a further comment ...
The local TIC runs independently in Melksham and is not funded by the District Council any longer. There IS a valid discussion to be had as regards to its funding, but I understand that it has some 30,000 people a year through its doors (figure unconfirmed) and I know it provides a very useful service for visitors to the town of whom there are a surprising number!
