Become a Member of Visitor International

The International Association of Visitor Information Providers

Celebrating 50 Years in 2025

Visitor International is the global association for businesses that guide visitors to experiences through brochures, maps, and guides—often complemented by digital solutions. Our members operate in-destination, ensuring that information is always where it matters most: in the hands of travellers as they explore.

Founded in the USA in 1975, Visitor International has grown into a trusted network of independent visitor information providers across the USA, Canada, Ireland, France, Belgium, Germany, Greece, Scotland, South Africa, Mexico, and Spain.

Why Join Visitor International?

A Powerful Global Network
With fewer than 50 members, you’ll join a close, collaborative group of professionals who share ideas, insights, and strategies. Our members support each other, refer business, and tackle challenges together.

Use Research to Win Business
Gain exclusive access to consumer and hospitality research showing how brochures, maps, and guides drive action—planning, visiting, booking, and buying. Use this research to influence clients and host venues.

Support, Resources, and Recognition
Your membership includes access to shared resources, messaging guides, promotional materials, and our collective expertise. You'll also be profiled on our global website and recognised as a provider of high-quality visitor information.

Annual Conference and Year-Round Collaboration
Our Annual General Meeting is the highlight of the year, bringing members together to learn from one another and see how operations run in different countries. Between meetings, regular contact ensures ongoing exchange and support.

A Professional Stamp of Approval
Membership signifies your business meets the standards of quality, integrity, and professionalism upheld by the association.

Who Can Join?

Membership is open to established, commercial businesses that:

• Operate in-destination, providing visitor information

• Influence visitors to visit, buy, or act through print or a combination of print and digital

• Have print (brochures, maps, or guides) as an essential and significant part of their visitor information service

• Are aligned with our code of standards and ethics

Other criteria apply, and each application is reviewed individually. If you believe your business is a good fit, we invite you to express your interest and learn more about the process.
