From January 1 to November 30, there were 14,800 visitors who passed through the centre, an increase of 850 compared to the previous 12 months.
The Dorrigo Visitor Information Centre has been operated by the Dorrigo Tourist Association Inc for over 27 years. The centre is open every day of the year, other than Christmas Day, and staffed entirely by a dedicated band of volunteers.
Tourists also use social media to pre-plan their visit and accommodation needs but the visitor comments book at the centre is full of compliments for their warm welcome to our town and for Dorrigo as a tourist destination.
To celebrate this successful year, the volunteers and their partners gathered together at Components Café on Sunday afternoon, December 2 for a celebratory Christmas luncheon.
The delicious luncheon, expertly presented and hosted by Barry and Lyn from the café and their friendly staff, was an opportunity to be together as a group and to reflect on another successful year, in the knowledge that they had contributed to welcoming visitors to Dorrigo and the region of the Waterfall Way.
