Tourism FAQs
Our Texas Travel
Information Centers
offer three tourism programs.
The following questions are about the use of regional display cases in our
information centers.

Who can use the regional
display cases in a travel information center? |

All city convention and visitor bureaus, chambers of
commerce and rural and regional tourism organizations that
promote travel to a specific region. Participation must
include a minimum of three cities representing a specific
region.

What do I need to do to use
a display case? |
|
You must complete and submit an
online application
indicating the
travel information centeryou are interested in. We will not allow the use of
display cases at more than one location per organization, per six-month period;
however, you may prioritize your desired first through tenth choices. A new
application must be submitted for each six-month period. For an application to
be considered, all required information must be provided (see below).

What is the cost to my
organization to use a display case? |

Display case usage is free; however, you must provide us with 14 different
transparencies and one placard to be placed in the case.

for transparencies that are displayed in the display cases? |
