New Jersey Welcome & Visitor Information Centers

Anyone who's traveled to an unfamiliar area with the intention of experiencing as much as possible knows how invaluable the knowledge of a local can be. There is no better resource, and having it can make the difference between an average trip and one that exceeds beyond expectations. Welcome Centers play a vital role in how we promote the Garden State as a travel destination.

Our New Jersey Welcome & Visitor Information Centers often serve as a traveler's first stop, giving communities the opportunity to provide a positive first impression of New Jersey. These Centers are scattered throughout the state to enable all visitors to have the best experience possible. Four of them are staffed, and they take that local-is-best approach to heart, offering personal travel concierges, knowledgeable experts ready to provide information to enhance and enrich your visit no matter what your focus -- the arts, best beaches, local culture & flavors, ecological diversity. 

Plan a stop on your next trip so you too can get the most out of your visit and experience New Jersey like a local.

Looking to showcase your New Jersey tourism business or attraction at our welcome centers, please read our guidelines and submit your application for review.  New Jersey Division of Travel and Tourism provides the display of and distribution of tourism literature at our state welcome centers at no cost to tourism partners.
