It shall also confirm and share explicit details of their approval software. TOURISM Santa Fe requires confirmation of the vendor’s use of either InSite Prepress Portal, a web-based platform that allows print buyers, designers, and printers to review high-resolution digital proofs, annotate corrections, and officially approve or reject pages over the internet or vendor-equivalent system (subject to TSF approval).

The Visitors Guide is also an opportunity for local businesses, organizations, and other endeavors to participate via advertising and editorial. Since bringing the Visitors Guide development in house for the 2022 project, Tourism Santa Fe has successfully worked with and established a good relationship with one printer, one salesperson, and a handful of other steadfast contacts. Over that time, TSF has made changes to the paper weight, dimensions, page count, distribution, and print run. The established printer was responsive and fair. Here are the last 5 iterations of the Visitors Guide:
