| Topic | Oklahoma Welcome Centers |
| Content | Spread out across Oklahoma at 8 entry locations and in 3 urban areas are buildings owned and operated by Oklahoma. In these buildings are the sentinels of the State manning their posts everyday of the week through the month and year. These 11 buildings or sites are the State Tourist Welcome Centers. The sentinels are the employees of the State Tourism Department. These welcome centers are the hostels and rest facilities for travelers from all walks of life and from all over the nation. There needs to be a concentrated effort by all parties to improve the Tourist Information Centers, making them more than simply buildings where tourists stop to ask a few questions, grab a map, use the bathroom, and then leave. Each center should start working with museums, colleges, and local communities to provide interesting and informative items in display cases inside of the centers. The goal of these centers should be to represent the people of Oklahoma and to compete with high energy to sell and promote the State of Oklahoma. Every creative effort will be made to make visiting the Centers as educational as well as interesting. |
