          <by role="member" id="1820">The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY:</by>  The Adelaide Visitor Information Centre has had a torrid and turbulent past and is in the process of being relocated. It has gone from King William Street to Grenfell Street to North Terrace and is now going to what will probably be its final resting place in James Place. On radio FIVEaa the tourism minister, Mr Bignell, on 29 April stated that the relocated centre would be taking in-person bookings, although he also went on to say that the facility would be staffed by volunteers. Industry sources have advised me that there will be no booking service at the new James Place Visitor Information Centre, despite the minister's claim on radio. My questions to the minister are:</text>
        <text id="20140520f9a326c6e6ea472ba0000058">1.&amp;#x9;Can the minister confirm exactly what services will be offered to the public at the new James Place Visitor Information Centre?</text>
        <text id="20140520f9a326c6e6ea472ba0000059">2.&amp;#x9;Given the operation will be staffed by volunteers, what training will the South Australian Tourism Commission be providing to those volunteers?</text>
