Visit Truckee-Tahoe, the new official tourism authority for Truckee, announced the launch of http://www.VisitTruckeeTahoe.com, a 50 page tourism management and promotion website is now the leading source for visitor information. The site reflects an organizational focus on balancing a healthy Truckee tourism economy with stewardship and sustainability.

Notable differences on the new visitor website include 40% of primary navigation dedicated to Visit Truckee-Tahoe’s Sustainable Truckee initiative in addition to Made Naturally, a section about Truckee-Tahoe’s natural and cultural history with photos and information about the Tahoe National Forest, wildlife, plants, Native American history, early settlers and California ski culture including the uniqueness of Donner Summit.

The Sustainable Truckee section explains ten new summer 2021 programs launched to educate visitors about how to recreate responsibly and travel sustainability in addition to “Welcoming Visitors to Take Care.” The Take Care message is an extension of the Tahoe Fund’s “Take Care Tahoe” campaign which is also reflected in new historic downtown Truckee flagpole banners, in addition to 36 trailhead signs produced by Visit Truckee-Tahoe.

“One new Sustainable Truckee program of critical importance to both visitors and residents is the new Visit Truckee-Tahoe Truckee Travel Alert — a hub of ‘know before you go’ information on wildfire preparedness, fire bans, power outage potential, trail conditions, weather alerts, traffic, lookout cams, and more,” stated Siobhan Kenney, Brand and Stewardship Communications Manager.

The Truckee Travel Alert also addresses immediate, real-time environmental crises that can happen at any moment including wildfire threats and power outages. Working with multiple emergency agencies including Town of Truckee Police Department, Truckee Donner PUD, Truckee Fire Protection District and Nevada County, Visit Truckee-Tahoe also produced two new Visitor Guides for Truckee Power Outages and Wildfire Preparedness.
