California Tourism Board Seeks Support for Los Angeles Travel Amid Wildfires

Carolyn Beteta, Director & CEO of the California Tourism Board, has issued a statement regarding the ongoing wildfires in Los Angeles.

It is stated that over 98% of Los Angeles County isn’t directly affected by the fires, and the region’s tourism economy is necessary to support many residents affected by the fires. Beteta, Director & CEO, urged support, saying, “Los Angeles has always been a beacon to the world—a place where dreams are born and stories are crafted from movies to iconic landmarks. This resilient city now needs your help in its story of revival. One of the best ways to support Los Angeles’s recovery is to plan a trip.”

Tourist attractions such as the Hollywood Sign, Universal Studios Hollywood, Santa Monica Pier, Getty & Getty Villa, and Griffith Observatory are continuing their operations.

The statement encourages visits by saying, “Los Angeles is counting on a bustling tourism economy as usual. Plan your trip and support local businesses and residents who need tourism more than ever.”
