Covid-19 Travel: California Launches ‘Dream On In California’ Campaign
According to reports, the state’s tourism board is looking to not only boost its industry, but is also encouraging travelers to share their stories of all their postponed dreams and plans because of the ongoing pandemic that has been the coronavirus. California, along with the rest of the world, was forced to press the pause button when Covid-19 began making headlines in 2020. Little did anyone know at the time that that long pause would last more than 14 months. Luckily, with more and more people vaccinated, businesses are beginning to open again.
“California has been the backdrop for countless ‘Dream Big’ moments and epic adventures,” said Caroline Beteta, president and CEO of Visit California. “Last year, the right thing to do was focus on keeping people healthy and well, but now it’s time to safely reopen our destinations and jumpstart memory-making with ultimate California experiences.”
The great news is that a select group of people will be able to make their ‘postplanned’ dreams come true with some unforgettable and only in California experiences. They include:
—10 elopements in a single day at the California Pop-Up Wedding Chapel in Napa Valley, one of California’s top destination wedding locales.
—Reuniting family members for a special night out at a San Diego Padres game at Petco Park.
—An unbelievable sunset meal to make up missed milestone celebrations.
—Ultimate customized family road trips and exclusive experiences at many of California’s iconic attractions across the state.
