GEORGIA PEACH GREET PROGRAM
The Peach Greet, Georgia’s motor coach intercept program, was designed to give motorcoach groups a sampling of Georgia’s well-known southern hospitality. Georgia’s Peach Greet is available at our 11 Visitor Information Centers (VICS) located throughout the state who welcome more than 13 million visitors each year and are the perfect place to stop with any group! If your group is coming to Georgia or just passing through, we would love the opportunity to say “Hey Ya’ll”. All we request is 48 hours advance notice so we have time to get ready for your arrival. Please contact the Georgia Peach Greet hotline located at the Tallapoosa Visitor Information Center about the new program and to make your Georgia Peach Greet reservation today! For more information, call 770-574-2621 or email tallapoosa@georgia.org.
