Welcome centers

Oregon Travel Information Council is proud to manage the state's official Welcome Centers through a contract with Travel Oregon.

Welcome Centers are a refreshing stop where motorists find information, hospitality, and inspiration. These service-oriented centers offer up-to-date literature and personal assistance to ensure travelers find ample opportunities to shop, dine, stay, play and enjoy Oregon.

Brochures

If you want travelers to know about your business or attraction, your brochure needs space in Oregon’s Welcome Centers.

Located at nine strategic points of entry into Oregon, Welcome Centers serve an estimated 225,000 total travelers yearly. The Welcome Center Brochure Program is customizable to suit the needs of your business. You can place your brochure in any or all nine Centers, with rates beginning as low as $60 and ranging up to $725.

To advertise your business to travelers through TIC’s Welcome Center Brochure Program, please contact us.
