Our network of Visitor Information Centres strategically located throughout Tasmania provides a quality service for visitors. They are local experts and can help with planning and booking your holiday.
Accredited visitor centres are identified by the blue/yellow 'i' logo (left). Other visitor centres providing tourist information are unaccredited and are generally identified by the blue/white i logo.
Accreditation
Accredited Visitor Centres are required to hold National tourism accreditation and operate under National Visitor Centre specific Guidelines which provide benchmarks for service delivery, presentation and management standards. By adopting the Guidelines, Visitor Centres demonstrate their ability to deliver high quality customer service and maintain management processes and business practices to support that delivery. Tourism Tasmania as the licensed holder of the registered yellow i trademark in Tasmania, works with the TVIN to ensure the integrity of the yellow i trademark is maintained.
