Welcome to Prince Albert

-Zelia Mullins-

On 15th December 2006 the Prince Albert Tourism Office hosted a “Welcome to Prince Albert” campaign, which coincided with similar campaigns all over the Western Cape.

In conjunction with the local police, a road-block was arranged in the vicinity of Millers Restaurant on the outskirts of town. Motorists entering town were pulled over onto the side of the road by our friendly police representatives and then the welcome began. Lynette Claassen, Stefné Theunissen and Rouan van Heerden were on hand to welcome visitors to Prince Albert. Free cool drinks, watermelon, the December issue of the Prince Albert Friend and Prince Albert promotional material was handed out.

The campaign was well received by visitors. The Tourism Office would like to run a similar campaign over the Easter Holidays.
