TOURIST operators from across North Yorkshire will be at Thirsk Racecourse next Thursday for the annual Hambleton tourist literature exchange day.

Almost 50 attraction operators will distribute information to other tourism providers - accommodation operators, restaurants, pubs, libraries and tourist information centres.

"This day is the first big tourism push of the season where we can get bulk supplies of literature passed round all the providers," said tourism manager David Shields.

The event will run from 10am to 1pm in Grimthorpe Hall.
