Delaware Tourism Office launches Go-to-Guide, encouraging safe travel

Delaware Tourism Office

The Delaware Tourism Office (DTO) has launched a “Go-to-Guide” to encourage safe travel this holiday weekend and all summer long throughout the First State.

The Delaware Tourism Office worked with Gov. Carney’s office and Public Health officials to launch the “Go-to-Guide” - so travelers can visit the state safely.

 “To help provide travelers with a kind of ‘what to expect’ when they arrive here in Delaware; everything from making sure you pack the face covering and also some hand sanitizer and some extra travel ideas - like traveling around not during peak times to help with social distancing,” said Delaware Tourism Office director Liz Keller.

 

She says they launched the guide in part because of the number of calls they are fielding on a daily basis.

 

"There are a lot of questions," said Keller. ?Because as you know as Delawareans, we’re trying to understand what’s going on in our state. And then when you travel to another state, there may be a whole new set of rules and precautions.”

Keller says in addition to the “Go-to-Guide,” state tourism staff will be on-call as “Discovery Advisers” for visitors looking for personalized travel suggestions. 

Tourists can head here to share what they hope to do while in Delaware and the office’s experts will send suggestions depending on what is open and available.

 

The “Go-to-Guide” is also available the Delaware Tourism website, along with an animated safety video.
