Keeping Lincoln's Visitors Safe

.

If there has been one constant over the past few months, it’s that our environments are constantly changing, and we have to not only adapt but anticipate these changes.

That is easier said than done, especially during the ongoing COVID pandemic. 
There has been a profound affect on our everyday life and that certainly includes the travel and tourism industries. We are just now seeing many of our attractions attempt to return to operations if they had closed before and those that have opened previously continue to navigate different circumstances when it comes to hosting visitors.

Our Lincoln attractions, hotels and other destinations are consistently hitting the mark when it comes to adopting these new safety protocols and protecting the public. 

The Lincoln Convention and Visitors Bureau continues to work closely with the Lincoln-Lancaster County Health Department and Mayor’s office as we assist attractions, event venues and the lodging industry in adhering to the various phases of Directed Health Measures and how that affects events and gatherings. The planning of these events is done with the complete safety of attendees and the Lincoln community in mind, as we continue to work with event organizations to return their events to Lincoln. The accompanying residual benefit is one that touches all corners of our community.

Local attractions have been featured on the CVB’s social media pages in our “Safety Spotlight”, as we find out how they are taking steps to provide PPE, provide for social distancing and practice other safety measures. 

Our organizations continue to work with the city and our businesses to keep safety at the top of mind. This partnership has found a new way to support local companies while providing important resources to the community, such as through the creation of LNKPPE.com, which lists available PPE for purchase and use throughout our community.

If you have any questions about our attractions and what their operating schedules and procedures are at the current time, please visit lincoln.org and click on the “Attraction Updates” button on the main page.
