This May, in honor of California Tourism Month, Visit Temecula Valley is inviting locals to “Live Like a Tourist” and rediscover the experiences that make Temecula a world-class destination. With special offers exclusively for City of Temecula residents, there's never been a better time to explore, indulge, and fall in love with your hometown all over again.
“Sometimes we forget how great we have it living in Temecula,” says Scott Wilson, President/CEO of Visit Temecula Valley. “California Tourism Month gives our residents a reason to get out and enjoy the same experiences that millions of visitors travel here for every year.”
The Power of Tourism in Our Community
Temecula welcomes more than 3 million visitors annually, resulting in over $1.1 billion in travel spending and supporting 9,500 tourism-related jobs. Tourism dollars collected through local taxes go directly back into the community—funding vital services like road improvements, public safety, park enhancements, sidewalks, and street lighting.
“Tourism fuels the experiences we love and the infrastructure we rely on,” says Mayor Brenden Kalfus. “When we support tourism, we support Temecula.”
Special Offers to Help You Live Like a Tourist
Throughout the month of May, Temecula residents can access an exciting lineup of locals-only offers and experiences. Just show your Temecula address on a valid driver’s license or use a code when noted to unlock the fun.
