AN open day in the East Hampshire District Council funded Petersfield Tourist Information Centre in the library showcased attractions that could boost the local economy through tourism.

Centre manager Graham Haynes said: “We’re looking for visitors to stay over for a couple of nights because there is so much to do here.”

East Hampshire MP Damian Hinds added: “Tourism is already an important part of our local economy and I’m sure it will become an increasingly important part of our future.”
