USATourist.com F.A.Q.

Can you mail brochures, maps or travel packets to me?

Michelle Leco — Thu, 08 Nov 2007 00:03:45 GMT

USATourist.com is a privately owned online information resource only. We are not affiliated with any official State Tourist Office. Nor are we a travel agent.

We do not have any printed materials. So we cannot mail any maps, brochures or other informtatio.

There is not a tourist office for the entire United States. Each state in the U.S. promotes tourism for itself. We recommend that you contact the Tourist Office for the state that you wish to visit. Many will mail materials to you, often free of charge! Go to our State Tourist Office page for links to every state. Another good resource is the Convention and Visitors Bureau. Every large city has one. Just use your favorite search engine to search for the CVB for the city you plan to visit!
