visitor services

Hospitality support department

Visitor services are the facilities, staff, and programs that help guests navigate and enjoy a location.

Museums, parks, and tourist destinations all have visitor services—typically including information desks, maps, guided tours, and accessibility accommodations.

The visitor services center is just past the main entrance.

The term appears frequently in job titles and department names at institutions that serve the public.
