The Queens Tourism Council is set to enhance the US Open experience for tennis fans by operating an information kiosk at the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center. This initiative will provide visitors with valuable tips and advice on what to do in the borough of Queens during the final grand slam event of the year, which is scheduled to take place from August 26 to September 8.
This marks the 12th time that the Queens Tourism Council has been given the opportunity by the United States Tennis Association (USTA) to set up an information and referral center at the US Open. The practice was first introduced during the 2012 tournament and has since become a valuable resource for attendees.
Throughout the duration of the US Open, members of the Queens Tourism Council will be present at the kiosk to offer recommendations on local attractions, including restaurants, hotels, cultural organizations, and shopping destinations. Moreover, the kiosk will feature a QR code that directs visitors to a website containing tips about great restaurants along the 7 train.
Operated by volunteers who are residents of the area, the information kiosk will provide visitors with Queens In Your Pocket guidebooks, a restaurant guide from the Queens Chamber of Commerce, and promotional materials from local cultural institutions such as Flushing Town Hall. Queens Center tote bags will also be made available to attendees.
The launch of the 2024 tourism information kiosk was celebrated by a gathering of local leaders, elected officials, and representatives from the Queens Tourism Council at the National Tennis Center on August 21. Council Member Sandra Ung, Сommunity Вoard 3 Chair Frank Taylor, Queens Economic Development Corporation Executive Director Seth Bornstein, and Rob MacKay, Director of Queens Tourism Council, were among the attendees.
Located north of the food court between Arthur Ashe and Louis Armstrong Stadiums, the information kiosk will remain in operation for the entire two-week duration of the US Open. Tennis fans can visit the kiosk to gain valuable insights about the best attractions and experiences that Queens has to offer.

Članak izvještava o Queens Tourism Councilu koji će operirati informacijsku kućicu na Nacionalnom teniskom centru Billie Jean King kako bi poboljšali iskustvo navijača tenisa na US Openu. Ova inicijativa pružat će posjetiteljima vrijedne savjete i informacije o tome što raditi u okrugu Queens tijekom posljednjeg Grand Slam događaja godine, koji se planira održati od 26. kolovoza do 8. rujna.
Ovo je već 12. put da je Queens Tourism Council dobio priliku od američkog teniskog udruženja (USTA) za otvaranje centra za informacije i upućivanje na US Openu. Praksa je prvi put uvedena tijekom turnira 2012. godine i postala je vrijedan izvor informacija za posjetitelje.
Tijekom trajanja US Opena, članovi Queens Tourism Councila bit će prisutni na kućici kako bi pružali preporuke o lokalnim atrakcijama, uključujući restorane, hotele, kulturne organizacije i odredišta za kupovinu. Osim toga, kućica će imati QR kod koji usmjerava posjetitelje na web stranicu s savjetima o odličnim restoranima duž 7 train.
Informacijsku kućicu će voditi volonteri koji su stanovnici područja, a posjetitelji će dobiti vodiče Queens In Your Pocket, vodič restorana Queens Chamber of Commerce i promotivne materijale lokalnih kulturnih ustanova poput Flushing Town Hall-a. Torbe Queens Center bit će također dostupne posjetiteljima.
Lansiranje informacijske kućice za turizam za 2024. godinu proslavljeno je okupljanjem lokalnih vođa, izabranih dužnosnika i predstavnika Queens Tourism Councila na Nacionalnom teniskom centru 21. kolovoza. Na skupu su prisustvovali članica Vijeća Sandra Ung, predsjednik zajednice Frank Taylor, izvršni direktor Queens Economic Development Corporation Seth Bornstein te Rob MacKay, direktor Queens Tourism Councila.
Informacijska kućica smještena je sjeverno od praonice hrane između stadiona Arthur Ashe i Louis Armstrong. Bit će u pogonu tijekom cijelih dvotjednih US Opena. Navijači tenisa mogu posjetiti kućicu kako bi dobili vrijedne informacije o najboljim atrakcijama i iskustvima koje Queens nudi.
