Visit Idaho’s “Travel With Care” initiative promotes responsible tourism by encouraging visitors and residents to protect the state’s natural beauty and communities. Launched in 2022, the program is built on three core pillars:

  • Care for Idaho: Travelers are urged to leave no trace by packing out all waste, staying on designated trails, practicing fire safety, and respecting wildlife.
  • Care for Yourself: Emphasizing personal safety, the initiative advises preparation for outdoor activities, including researching trail conditions, carrying necessary gear, and informing others of travel plans.
  • Care for Others: Promoting kindness and patience, especially amid staffing shortages, visitors are encouraged to be courteous to fellow travelers and locals, fostering a welcoming environment.

To support these principles, Visit Idaho provides resources and guidelines, encouraging partners and communities to host events like trail cleanups and educational programs. This collective effort aims to preserve Idaho’s landscapes and ensure enjoyable experiences for all.
