This program is a means for local chamber/convention and visitor bureaus and institutions of higher education with an established tourism curriculum to promote tourism and increase the number of welcome centers in Missouri without expending state funds. ~~Anyone~~ interested in becoming a Missouri Welcome Center Affiliate should contact the Missouri Division of Tourism, email tourism@ded.mo.gov or call (573) 751-4133.		'''Support. '''The Missouri Division of Tourism has developed operational guidelines for Missouri Welcome Center Affiliates as detailed in 7 CSR 10-17 Supplemental Guide Sign Program.

Organizations interested in becoming a Missouri Welcome Center Affiliate should contact the Missouri Division of Tourism via email at tourism@ded.mo.gov or call (573) 751-4133.

	'''Standard. '''Upon written approval as a Missouri Welcome Center Affiliate by the Missouri Division of Tourism, the affiliate will request signing for the facility. The signing shall be paid for by the affiliate. A TR-15 contract shall be completed and payment received before ordering and installing the signs. The affiliates are recertified on a yearly basis, and if the affiliate fails to be recertified or losses the designation as an affiliate, the signs shall be removed.		'''Standard. '''Upon written approval as a Missouri Welcome Center Affiliate by the Missouri Division of Tourism, the affiliate will request signing for the facility through the Missouri supplemental guide sign program contractor. The signing shall be paid for by the affiliate.

	Missouri Welcome Center Affiliate signing will be allowed up to the third order signing location (see [[903.1 General (MUTCD Chapter 2A)#903.1.24\|EPG 903.1.24]]) or the first interchange encountered traveling away from the affiliate, whichever is encountered first. Signing will be allowed up to a maximum of 6 miles from the affiliate in an rural location and 2 miles in an urban location measured along the roadway path. A maximum of two signs at each sign order location will be allowed, with each sign providing turn guidance for one approach. The mainline and ramp signs for a given direction of travel at an interchange constitute one “sign”. No more than one intersection or interchange may receive signing for each direction on a given route. However, the two signs for a given order of signing may be split between two intersections or interchanges if directional access is better served by different sign locations. Interchange-to-interchange signing is not permitted. If an at-grade intersection is upgraded to an interchange during the affiliate contract period, signing at the farthest interchange will be removed and relocated at the new closer interchange.
