matkailuneuvonta
Explanation:
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'
