The tourist office inaugurates its summer reception

One Tuesday, tourism professionals in Omaha and local elected officials discovered the premises of the new Vierville tourist office and its manager, Mélanie Buhours. Open for a week, well located and supported by signage from the municipality's providers, the office had to give visitors the desire to come, stay and return.

Mayor Jean-Marie Oxéant and Jacqueline Blanc, departmental president of the tourist offices, stressed the necessary quality of the reception. The establishment announced an opening from July 1 to August 31, Monday to Saturday from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and from 2:30 p.m. to 6 p.m., as well as Sunday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

After the visit, a meeting in the party hall presented its operation. Elected officials, traders and association leaders sat on the board of directors. A municipal subsidy and contributions, of two hundred francs for professionals and fifty for support, provided his resources.

Cooperation with neighboring offices and as many municipalities as possible was to help to face a season announced as gloomy, especially with fewer English customers. The display of the weather and tide coefficients, as well as the subscription to local newspapers to know cinemas and events, were suggested. The office could book tourist circuits, but would not yet offer currency exchange, especially on Sundays when post offices were closed. A buffet of local products brought together the participants.
