The tourist centre, for instance, is maybe at Bognor (5)
I believe the answer is:
regis
'at bognor' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'the tourist centre for instance is' is the wordplay.
'centre' says to take the centre.
'for instance' becomes 'eg' (short for 'exempli gratia', 'for example' in Latin).
The middle of 'tourist' is 'r'.
'r'+'eg'+'is'='REGIS'
'maybe' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for regis that I've seen before include "Bognor or Lyme" , "King's" , "See 1" , "See 19" , "Kingly honorific" .)
