Penrith City Mayor, Cr Kevin Crameri OAM celebrated with over 40 volunteers and staff from the Penrith Valley Visitor Information Centre the centre’s gold award for Visitor Information Services at the recent 2010 Greater Sydney Tourism Awards.“The centre was recently judged to be Greater Sydney’s best visitor centre,” said Councillor Crameri. “That’s quite an accolade, particularly when you consider the judges were a panel of key tourism figures.
“You outshone the competition on business performance in the areas of customer service, marketing, financial viability, business planning and risk management.”Councillor Crameri then went on to thank Council’s City Marketing Supervisor, Paul Page and the City Marketing team including all permanent staff and volunteers.
“The centre has also been automatically entered into the state awards as a finalist,” said Councillor Crameri. “I expect some nail biting will go on between now and November when those awards are announced.”
