LIVERPOOL taxi drivers are widely regarded as the torch bearers for city tourism - which is why there are periodic initiatives to teach them foreign languages and the like.

With this in mind, Liverpool ONE is holding a drop in session for cabbies tomorrow at Everton Park Sports Centre on Great Homer Street. 

They are even laying on the bacon butties, and in return they want to pick their planet-sized brains to improve communication.

Ambassadors

The event will take place on Tuesday September 4, from 10am until 11:30am. All Liverpool ONE says it wants in return is "to know what you need from us".

"We are seeking to improve our communication with taxi drivers who we recognise as being among the most important ambassadors for the city," said a spokesman. "So if you have time, drop in and it would be great to hear your opinions."

He added: "Liverpool ONE was recently awarded the Large Visitor Attraction of the year at the Tourism Awards so we want to make sure that we are working well bringing tourists into Liverpool ONE and the city centre."
