Visitor Center Referrals
North Lake Tahoeâs Visitor Information Centers in Tahoe City and Kings Beach are a valuable source of referrals for local businesses. Every day, Visitor Center staff offer roughly 130 referrals to visitors seeking recommendations for things to do and see, including restaurants and retail stores, accommodations, and unique experiences not to be missed in Tahoe.
One of North Lake Tahoeâs âbest-kept secretsâ is the power of its Visitor Information Centers. The North Tahoe Chamber operates two visitor centers: Tahoe City and Kings Beach. The Visitor Information Centers operate 364 days per year, offering directions, maps, information, brochures, and referrals to many of our local businesses. Visitors often inquire about hiking trails, lodging, restaurants, road conditions, water activities, mountain activities and events.
In addition, Visitor Information Center staff manage a small retail store with 80% of its items from local vendors. A monthly rotating art wall also offers local artists a place to exhibit their work.
