Oxford City Council is working with local businesses and organisations on a new initiative to improve the visitor experience across the city.
Oxford Tourism Hubs will help to fill a long-standing gap in the city’s tourism infrastructure by creating a network of clearly branded locations where visitors can access essential information and services.
Each hub will act as a welcoming point for visitors, offering a minimum standard of service, including:
- Free physical and digital maps
- Signposting to public toilets, including accessible and family-friendly options
- Information on shopmobility services
- Transport links and parking locations
- Emergency and non-emergency contact guidance
- Medical walk-in centre details
- Free water refill points
- Zero Emission Zone (ZEZ) information
- College opening times
The initiative is part of a wider programme to support and manage the effects of Oxford’s successful tourist sector. The hubs will make it easier for visitors to navigate the city and discover its many attractions.
