For over a decade, we have managed brochure distribution kiosks in separate Tollway Oases located in Northern Illinois. All the Oases have a high volume of daily visitors. These visitors are picking up brochures from the Visitor Information Kiosks as they make travel plans regarding where to go and what to do. Brochures remain one of the most commonly used tourist information services.
