Ring a tourist office and speak to a human

Tourism Flanders - Brussels operate a “real” live operator line from Monday to Friday on a London local rate telephone number. Calls are actually answered by a member of staff unlike so many tourist offices nowadays.

Its rare not to have automated answering lines and Tourism Flanders pride themselves in the fact they can answer public queries in person without the need for visitors to incur prohibitive telephone rate charges.

The Tourism Flanders-Brussels live operator line is manned daily from 9am – 4pm, Monday to Friday. Should the public want further information, a free brochure ordering line is available too.

In a world where we all rely on machines, it’s nice to know that some tourist offices value the human touch.
