Burnham-On-Sea
tourist centre boss to feature on nationwide poster
 The
manager of Burnham-On-Sea's Tourist Information Centre is to feature
on a new nationwide publicity poster depicting the 'face of British
tourism.'
Annette
Haggett, pictured, entered a competition run by VisitBritain,
the UK's national tourist board, and The Tourism Society, to win
a chance to appear in a poster campaign.
Annette's
photograph was judged to be the best to represent the work of
Tourist
Information Centre staff
across the country and it will feature on the poster alongside
several others and will collectively become the 'face of British
tourism' for 2009.
Annette
told Burnham-On-Sea.com: "We often have our photos used for
our own publications, but to be part of a national poster campaign
is a real surprise."
She
has worked at the Tourist Information Centre for more than 19
years and is a part of Sedgemoor District Council's tourism team
which advises and helps over 90,000 visitors each year.
Cindy
Tee, Service Manager for Tourism, added: "We are really pleased
that Annette's picture was chosen. It shows her warmth and friendliness
- she is a perfect representative of the staff working across
the tourism network."
"The
poster is due to arrive in the next few weeks and we will certainly
feature it prominently in the centre's window."
