In the end I think the better tag would have been amenity=visitor_contact_facility.

tourism=visitor_centre ?

But there are already two existing tags that could be used;
tourism=information "/May include Tourist information centres and offices./ " http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:tourism%3Dinformation information=office "/An office where you can get information about a town or region./" http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:information


Ranger station is commonly mapped in the USA, but has a murky meaning. In the US national and state parks, the visitor center and ranger station have overlap, with the more visitor oriented ranger jobs happening in the visitor center, and the more police oriented activities in a separate (sometimes unmarked) building.

In Australia the visitor centre can be physically separate from the 'ranger station'. Where physically separated they have separate functions too.
