But the city is not always an easy place to navigate, so the addition of a team of ambassadors to provide a ‘meet and greet’ service and offering tourist information advice is welcome.

The Business Improvement District calls it a new front-of-house service. It is yet another step in making Leeds truly a world-class city.
