December 7, 2009 (Alpine) – San Diego East Visitors Bureau celebrated the grand opening last week of its new office in the Viejas Outlet Center in Alpine. The site is an official California Welcome Center, providing information for tourists on attractions in East County and the San Diego region.
“This is the first California Welcome Center ever opened on tribal lands,” said Charlie Brown, director of Viejas Community Relations.
The Center will be included in more than a million dollars worth of advertising by the State of California to boost visibility and inform visitors about the new facility.
Soon, a new freeway billboard will inform motorists on I-8 about the welcome center, inviting them to stop by. The center offers a wealth of information including tourism brochures and coupons for local attractions.
At the opening event, names were drawn for guests to vie for prizes –including taking a turn to snatch up flying cash in a money booth. (photo: Brian Gray of AT&T tries his hand at catching some holiday cash, which could be redeemed for prizes.)
In addition, Supervisor Dianne Jacob was on hand to present a proclamation honoring East County’s new welcome center for visitors to our community.
