Kansas Travel Information Centers

Kansas Tourism manages two state travel information centers (TIC). The Goodland TIC is located at I-70 East Milepost 7. The Belle Plaine TIC is located on the turnpike 10 miles south of Wichita.

TIC staff greet over 200,000 visitors annually and assist the visitor with travel directions, road conditions, and lodging reservations. Computers are available for visitors to access TravelKS.com.  Tourism communities, attractions, and visitor services are promoted at the TICs. Using printed promotional materials, backlit, and community showcase and refreshment host activity, the staff will engage the visitor in conversation to encourage them to extend their travel days in Kansas. 

Over 400 tourism travel guides, brochures, and rack cards are approved for distribution through our state-managed TICs. We have eight backlit spots at the Goodland TIC and 11 backlit spots at the Belle Plaine TIC. The backlit provides additional exposure for communities that participate in the program. Both TICs promote individual communities through our Community Showcase Program. The Goodland TIC provides an additional marketing opportunity through the Refreshment Host Program.

COMMUNITY TRAVEL INFORMATION CENTERS

Kansas has implemented a Community Travel Information Center Program (C-TIC). To become a C-TIC, review the guidelines and application.
