Request is only the current request.
request.vars is a dictionary representing the URL's query string. If you want
request.vars.visitor_name to be visible after a redirect, you must include it
in the query string of the URL you're redirecting to.
Alternatively you could store the visitor_name in session, making it visible to
subsequent requests.
