A number of open evenings are set to take place in November and December in Aberfeldy, Arbroath, Blairgowrie, Crieff, Dundee, Dunkeld, Perth, and Pitlochry Tourist Information Centres.

Businesses will be given the opportunity to learn more about how to increase their accommodation bookings from local and national TICs.

The evenings will also provide the opportunity to learn how to be more equipped to deliver information to customers, ensure they stay longer in the area and return in the future.

Refreshments will be served and, as a special thank you for the work these businesses do with TICs, a 20% discount on retail will be offered on the evening.

Times and dates are as follows:

ABERFELDY             28.11.07     5.00-7.00pm
