Highway Visitor Center Reaches 10,000+ Visitors

Published Thursday, November 30, 2017 5:00pm

Did you know that your Highway Visitor Center has helped serve over 10,000 visitors in the past year? Your Chamber’s CVB couldn’t do it without the help of dedicated Visitor Counselors. Nearly 80 Visitor Counselors volunteer their time and expertise to ensure all visitors leave with the proper information and a smile on their face. Collectively they have over 430 years of service, and three of them have been with the program for more than 15 years.

Having this facility at one of New Braunfels primary gateways adjacent to IH 35 gives the community more of an identity with visitors and residents. The building definitely provides a nod to our German heritage with traditional Fachwerk and the final touch is the tin roof.
