Until then...

FOLLOW THE YELLOW TIERED ROAD

We are almost there! Monterey County is officially in the yellow tier and not to far from a full reopening in accordance to State guidelines. Until then, here are the most recent changes that have gone into effect with the move from orange to yellow:

Yellow Tier

HIGHLIGHTING MONTEREY COUNTY

To help propel more film business here, a new “sizzle reel” aimed at the film industry was just created. The “Monterey County…You Won’t Believe Your Eyes” locations video can now be seen at FilmMonterey.org. The three minute, 22-second reel is a fast-paced, professionally done, visual showcase of the dramatic and diverse film locations available in all parts of the county.

WHO'S THAT GIRL?

As a native to Monterey County and third generation hospitality worker, I am proud to be in an industry that plays such a great role in the community. The vision of the Monterey County Convention and Visitors Bureau is to inspire the world to experience our extraordinary destination responsibly, and in a way that maximizes the benefits of tourism to our vast array of communities.

Please feel free to contact me with any industry related questions or concerns: jkocher@seemonterey.com.

We appreciate your partnership and support. We couldn't do what we do without you.

Stay well and take good care.
