San Luis Obispo visitors and locals can now find visitor information including restaurants and hotel accommodations any time of the day or night.
A new, customized touch-screen kiosk is now accessible just outside of the Visitors Center and downstairs from the San Luis Obispo Chamber of Commerce. This user-friendly kiosk is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week and features listings for local restaurants and lodging as well as provides information about events and things to do in and around San Luis Obispo.
“With all of the good press San Luis Obispo has been getting lately, we realized it was important to provide visitors and tourists with tourism information even when the Visitors Center is closed,” said Lindsey Miller, the Chamber’s director of marketing. “So far, the kiosk has been a big hit with both locals and visitors.”
The kiosk is a project of the San Luis Obispo Chamber of Commerce in partnership with the City of SLO’s hotel group, the SLO TBID. The kiosk was designed in-house at the Chamber of Commerce with software developed locally.
“We’ve always been interested in developing a 24/7 kiosk and in fact it has been a goal of ours along with the city hotels for several years now,” said Lindsey Miller, the Chamber’s director of marketing. “We’ve been watching what other Visitor Centers have been developing and realized that the development of our own kiosk would work best in our community.”
The touch-screen kiosk can be found at the Visitors Center, 1039 Chorro St. in downtown San Luis Obispo. It has 24-hour surveillance.
The San Luis Obispo Chamber of Commerce is the oldest and largest Chamber of Commerce in San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara counties. As an independent nonprofit corporation (not affiliated with government or any other agency), it uniquely serve the needs of its 1,400 members.
