F = Future-focused. I realize the COVID-19 pandemic will be prevalent for the foreseeable future, so I will help ensure no further spread of the virus.

E = Everyone. Everyone is responsible for his/her own safety and that of their families. The burden of health is on oneself. While participating in visitor experiences, I will exercise the precautions and considerations requested by the property or business.
In August 2019 Sonoma County Tourism announced a significant commitment with values around destination stewardship and responsible travel. A travel pledge was instituted helping travelers enjoy a visit to the area while protecting our treasured natural and cultural resources in Sonoma County. The S.A.F.E. Travels Promise is a natural extension to that, encouraging our visitors to “Be Smart. Be Safe. Be Kind. Stay Healthy.”
