State tourism organizations in California, Oregon, and Washington have introduced an enhanced website to help travelers navigate wildfire affected regions. These efforts are the result of a year-old collaboration between the three states, with the formation of the West Coast Tourism Recovery Coalition to raise consumer awareness about the many communities and experiences that remain unaffected across the region. The aim is to provide up-to-date information about what visitors may face during natural disasters or weather incidents — including wildfires or snowstorms that might threaten to disrupt their travel plans and to guide them to enjoy their vacation. The website now includes webcams and real-time air-quality information at important destinations. It also includes multi-state itineraries to inform travelers who may decide to reroute road trips or seek more planning ideas for trips to the West Coast. California wildfires “underscore the ongoing need for coordinated travel communications among tourism offices in California, Oregon and Washington state,” said David Blandford, co-chair of the Washington Tourism Alliance. “We are committed to providing real-time resources for travelers and assisting in business recovery for our industry.” The central focus of the site is a “Current Conditions” mapping feature. It maps details of air quality and allows visitors to navigate to other nearby destinations in the three states. It includes dozens of color-coded air-quality readings from the three states; 40 webcams that show real-time conditions at popular destinations, roadways and key attractions, including national parks; locations and information for welcome centers in all three states. There is also an “Explore” section that features popular itineraries in each state and a handful of multi-state road trips – handy information when travelers decide to reroute. Along with important emergency resources in each state and an expanded news section.For more details, visit: WestCoastTravelFacts.orghttps://www.blouinartinfo.com/ Founder: Louise Blouin Read more
