Tourism & Travel / website discussing various members of tourist information centre
French term or phrase: Accueil
Help please.

I am translating a list of tourist team members (project manager, member of administrative team, guided tour management).

The word "accueil" crops up several times;

A person's name, job description and then a further description invariably concludes with "Accueil" (on a line all on its own at the end of each paragraph).
I presumed this meant "home" as on a website.
However "accueil" appears several more times in the text.

Any ideas please?

agree  Tony M: Yes, as a duty: welcoming / greeting people; and possibly 'reception' as an 'agent d' — no "one-size-fits-all" here!
