WELCOME TO THE STAKEHOLDER CORNER

 

 
On June 5th, Governor Newsom issued new guidance for several business sectors including family entertainment centers, restaurants, wineries and bars, zoos and museums, gyms and fitness centers, hotels for tourism and individual travel, cardrooms and racetracks, and campgrounds and outdoor recreation. The Governor’s purpose is to provide guidance on how businesses can resume operations while supporting a safe, clean environment for workers. Variance counties such as Monterey County can open these sectors with approval by the County Health Officer after review of local COVID-19 indicators. Read full update here.
 
For full update on County Variances throughout the state and all sectors that have been granted permission to reopen, click here.

RESPONSIBLE TRAVEL

We're All In This Together

As we work towards recovering our tourism economy, let's work together to encourage safe and responsible travel by encouraging everyone to abide by the safety guidelines recommended from local, state and national health authorities, including:
 
  • Wear face coverings: if you go out in public, wear face coverings and follow CDC guidelines.
  • Follow the 6-feet rule: practice social distancing by staying at least 6 feet apart at all times. This includes time spent on trails, at parks and other outdoors spaces.
  • Stay home: if you show signs of illness, stay home. Self-quarantine for at least two weeks if you have been in a high-risk area.
  • Leave no trace behind: Properly dispose of all trash and plastics, including face coverings. Help us keep Monterey County beautiful for generations to come.

    VISIT CALIFORNIA: RESPECT THE GOLDEN STATE

    Now the tourism landscape has vastly changed, but the need to preserve California has not. Visit California will continue to inspire safe and responsible tourism as counties across the state begin to reopen for leisure travel. This means asking our visitors – including California residents – to respect our communities, our environment, and the fellow travelers and locals they meet along the way.  Read more here.
