About the Arizona Office of Tourism's Arizona Visitor Information Center Program

The Arizona Visitor Information Center program was created by Arizona Office of Tourism, in reference to A.R.S. 41-2305 B8, with the defined purpose to establish a network of officially designated Arizona Visitor Information Centers (AVICs) throughout the state of Arizona. Primarily operated by local chambers of commerce or convention and visitor bureaus, designated AVICs help promote local Arizona communities as well as regional and statewide attractions, destinations, dining options and hospitality amenities. These information centers often serve as a visitor's first stop, giving communities the opportunity to provide a positive first impression of the surrounding area and Arizona.
