LOS ANGELES WILDFIRES

All of the team at the American Road Trip Company are heartbroken at the devastation that wildfires have inflicted to parts of one of our favourite cities in the world – Los Angeles. Our thoughts are with the residents of the affected suburbs of Malibu, Pacific Palisades, and Altadena. 

At times like these, the media can create a narrative that makes travellers hesitant to visit. The wildfires have decimated certain areas. However, Los Angeles is so expansive that the effects are still very much localised. Popular spots like Hollywood, Beverly Hills, and Santa Monica, which we love to visit, have not been impacted.

The fires have caused catastrophic damage in certain residential areas. While the impact is deeply felt throughout the city, it’s important to appreciate that LA is vast, and most neighbourhoods and communities remain untouched.

It’s crucial for tourism to return to Los Angeles, as long as it’s safe and enjoyable because it plays a huge role in supporting the city’s recovery efforts and helping the communities bounce back. We can assure you that many of LA’s top destinations are ready for you to enjoy, and we are ready to assist. Tourism will be key in the long process of helping these communities rebuild, and by choosing to visit LA, you’ll be contributing to that process.

Lastly, the ARTCo team has lots of experience handling situations, including natural disasters, and we’re always ready to support customers who might be affected. Whether helping to relocate clients to nearby unaffected areas or providing other assistance. 

Booking through a tour operator like us means you’ll have a team on standby, ready to help when you need it most.
