Tourist Information Board and Museum.
With Derry’s tourism levels on the increase, we must begin to offer more for those visiting. Combining a tourist information board and a museum in the city is an excellent idea I believe, as the two really compliment each other. The tourist information board would provide detailed information on current activities and attractions, such as the City Sight-Seeing Bus, the town hall – The Guildhall, and the nightlife. The tourist information board would also run excursions to the surroundings areas around Derry, such as, the Giant’s Causeway and some of the towns of Donegal, e.g. Buncrana. The Museum then would offer an insight into the history of Derry/Londonderry. From the time of its settlement to the present. That is, from when St. Columba founded the settlement, to the Seige of Derry, to the famine, and most recently through the ‘Troubles’. Evidently, this prototype promotes local culture more than any of the prototypes. Employment would be provided for the local area through this. It would also increase the tourism levels, furthermore, due to the facilities and information made available to other tourists. The prototype is also economically stable, with charges for the visit to the museum put in place, however the use of the tourist information board would be free of charge. A tram link would also be put into use here.
