Tourist Information Centre is one of the sections in DISBUDPAR aimed to increase the number of tourism industry in Solo. The report describes of the strengths and the weaknesses of TIC at DISBUDPAR Solo to give information for tourists who visit Solo. The writer collected the data of the report from brochures, tourism books, leaflets, observations, tourists and employees interviews of DISBUDPAR Solo, also by finding references in the library, browsing internet, and using job experience. As a result, it can be seen that the strength of TIC at DISBUDPAR Solo is giving information about Solo and its surrounding without cost. The weaknesses of this TIC are the difficulty in finding the location, the lack of facilities, and the low quality of its staffs. Therefore, the efforts taken by TIC to solve the problems are building a big sign in the road side of Slamet Riyadi street, increasing the number of tourism information tools, improving the ability of TIC staffs in mastering foreign language and knowledge about tourist destination.
