VISIT CALIFORNIA’S RESPONSIBLE TRAVEL CODE
One California Day joins Visit California in its call for safe and responsible travel throughout the state. We support the Responsible Travel Code which asks visitors to travel with R.E.S.P.E.C.T. by committing to seven best practices when exploring the Golden State.
Will you take this pledge with us?
Roam responsibly - I will explore California thoughtfully and responsibly, maintaining the utmost respect for everyone and everything I encounter.
Educate myself - I will do my research before traveling across the state, familiarizing myself with local regulations and community concerns, which may have changed over time.
Safety first - I will follow public health directives from government officials, including physical distancing measures. I will take all necessary steps to minimize health risks to myself and others and stay home if I’m sick.
Preserve California--I will protect and nurture the Golden State’s pristine outdoor spaces and cultural icons by maintaining a light footprint at every turn and paying special attention to delicate ecosystems.
Embrace community--I will support local businesses and do my part to ensure the long-term prosperity of the places I visit.
Celebrate culture--I will immerse myself in California’s diverse local cultures and embrace the traditions and practices I encounter.
Teach others--I will lead by example and share these practices with fellow travelers, acknowledging that we all share the responsibility to protect California.
