matkailuneuvonta

according to the actual Tourist Info/Matkailuneuvonta office in Turku

Also several tourist info bureaus seem to prefer 'matkailuneuvonta', although some use 'matkailutoimisto' or 'matkailupalvelu'. But I'd suggest this one, as it offers a slightly clearer difference to 'matkatoimisto'

Example sentence:

Turku Touringin matkailuneuvonta palvelee matkailijoita ja kaupunkilaisia muutamia poikkeuksia lukuunottamatta vuoden jokaisena päivänä Turun keskustassa Auransillan lähellä katuosoitteessa Aurakatu 4.
