Local Visitor Information Center Program

Arizona offers a network of designated Local Visitor Information Centers (LVIC) throughout the state, primarily operated by local chambers of commerce or convention and visitor bureaus. LVICs are designated based on an application and approval process overseen by the Arizona Office of Tourism and the Visitor Services Advisory Committee.

The LVICs help promote their local community and regional area attractions, recreational opportunities and hospitality amenities. Visitors often utilize these information centers as their first stop, giving communities the opportunity to provide a positive first impression of the community and Arizona.

The Visitor Services Advisory Committee consists of LVIC representatives from around Arizona, the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) and the Arizona Travel Industry Association. The committee meets twice a year to review visitor center evaluations, applications for ADOT visitor center signage and provide comments and suggestions for the upcoming year's program.

Acceptance into this program provides signage from ADOT directing travelers to the LVIC. Below are documents needed for the process:

• LVIC Criteria 08
• LVIC Program Application
• LVIC Application Checklist
• LVIC Program Process
