On main roads and off the beaten track, businesses throughout Vermont have earned Ambassador Information Center designation to help visitors make the most of their time in Vermont by providing local and statewide information and recommendations.
Benefits of designation include a large or small blue information sign to post in front of your business to alert visitors that they can find travel information at your location as well as inclusion in a digital map directory and on the information center landing page at VermontVacation.com/Info. The Vermont Attractions official road map mentions the program and links back to that landing page.
