COVID-19 Resources For Industry Partners

A Message From Governor Greg Abbott

The state of Texas is strong; our people, resilient.

As we have seen in years past, when tested by fire, flood, or hurricane, Texans respond with resilience and calm resolve. And just as we overcame those challenges, we will overcome this one.

When neighbors help neighbors, our resilience is redoubled.

I have no doubt that Texans will continue to work together in that spirit over the coming days and weeks.

And we are here to help.

Safe Travel In Texas

To equip Texans and out-of-state travel intenders with the information needed to plan travels to and around Texas confidently, Travel Texas launched a resource page entitled Traveling Safely Around Texas on TravelTexs.com. 

This page highlights what travel-related activities are open around the state, the Travel Texas Promise and new measures Texas hotels, restaurants and destinations are taking to welcome travelers back safely.

Travel Texas Promise

The Travel Texas Promise was designed to inspire a commitment from Texans to do their part to stay safe and respect the places and people that make our state so special. It's a way to remind everyone traveling or planning a trip that it is vital to adhere to the guidelines of health officials and make the safety of those around them as important as their own.

I will be a good neighbor by following the recommendations of health officials and I will stay home if I’m not feeling well.

When the time is right, I will eat delicious tacos and BBQ, and try at least one new Texas dish.

I will take in a Texas sunset, walk through a field of bluebonnets, and remember The Alamo.

I will celebrate the many cultures that make up Texas and let these travel experiences expand my heart and mind.

I will be respectful of the places I visit and the people I encounter, and I will make their health and safety as important as my own. 

Lastly, I promise to never take traveling around Texas for granted.

Travelers can make the promise at TravelTexas.com and share an 'I Promise To Travel Texas Responsibly' graphic on social media to help motivate others to do their part to travel responsibly.
