Is it safe for visitors to travel to California during wildfire season?

Visit California’s first concern is always the safety and well-being of California residents and visitors, so we recommend that visitors who are planning a trip to California check out visitcalifornia.com/ca and contact their hotel and local convention and visitors bureau for all pertinent updates.
