I believe the answer is:

guidebooks

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'tour leaders' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are plural nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.

'welcoming dubliners for example producing volumes of information' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'example' could be 'guide' (guide is a kind of example) and 'guide' is located in the answer.
'volumes' could be 'books' (book is a kind of volume) and 'books' is found in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
