Omarama has a new visitors' information centre.
Hot Tubs Omarama, owned and operated by Jan and Lance Thomas, had agreed to take on the role, Oamaru i-Site manager Tania Pacey said.
"The Hot Tubs are on the popular visitor route of State Highway 8, excellently placed to encourage visitors to stop, to enjoy the activities in that area and to raise awareness of Waitaki," she said.
Part of the role is providing information so visitors consider heading down the Waitaki Valley to Oamaru before carrying on with their journey.
The new centre will provide information on all the normal things a visitor needs on their journey - road conditions, weather reports and ski reports, maps, activity and accommodation brochures for surrounding regions and will make reservations when requested.
"Jan and Lance are looking forward to the new challenges this will bring and working with local operators to help raise the profile of Omarama, and the rest of the Waitaki district," she said.
