I totally agree with Margaret Hills (‘Silly choice for old i-Site, The Weekend Sun, April 11), and P Morris (‘Ditch the cakes: Return the i-Site', The Weekend Sun, April 17) about the old i-Site building at Mount Maunganui.

I am frequently stopped and asked for information on how to get to the camping ground.
Lots of tourists get of the bus outside the i-Site. The information should be there - not at least 1.5-2 kilometres away.

Okay, the cruise ships bring a lot of revenue to the Mount and Tauranga, but what about our winter visitors?

Are they supposed to trudge all that way in the snow (sic) to reach the camping ground?
In some towns they call on volunteers. Maybe this could work with a fair bit of training? Let's face it , our local residents know a lot more about our beautiful area than the camping ground staff.

No offence to them, but maybe they should stick to what they know best. I've had quite a few experiences with them when trying to advise my visitors where to go.
