In what is being seen as a cost-cutting measure by Waverley, the facility would cease to exist in its own right, and instead be integrated with the cashier and information and advisory section, staffed by a reduced number of workers trained in all three areas.
Chairman of Farnham Visitors Council, Robin Crawford, expressed his concern over the potential changes to the facility, describing it as "a significant step downwards".
He remains sceptical of the feasibility of an integrated system, which he feels would place too high a demand on staff.
"It would depend on who was there on the end of the phone. If it is someone who has been working in the tourist section then it will be fine, but it could well be someone from the advisory or cashier section, who may be unfamiliar with the relevant information required.
"A lot of training is needed to ensure the staff can be completely interchangeable and familiar with all roles, and I don't see this working."
Mr Crawford claims a general reduction in financial support from Surrey County Council and Waverley towards tourism could have serious implications for the town.
"This has not come at a good time with the town already performing badly with respect to tourism. It's mainly because we haven't pushed ourselves forwards.
"Last year you could say it was because of September 11, but his year there is no excuse. The main reason is because Farnham is not promoting itself very well compared to other towns across the UK."
He believes the town should be making more use of multi -media technology to promote the town more effectively.
"Tourist information can be made more widely available by the use of touch-screen computers available in the Locality Office, and in the library.
"I also think the town website should be improved with more detail on the surrounding villages. None of this would require new technology. The other advantage of touch-screen computers is they are vandal proof."
A spokesperson for Waverley was unable to confirm the future role of the tourist office at this stage,
"Tourism was reviewed at an executive meeting on April 9 with the committee looking at possible outcomes to develop the tourist office.
"Whether or not it will continue operating as a separate facility, or become an integrated service with other aspects of the Locality Office, has not yet been decided by the council."
