The Responsible Tourism Travel Pledge
Leave The County even better than you found it.
Are you planning a getaway to The County in 2024? Is your heart set on a visit brimming with wine tastings, sand dunes, and mouthwatering farm-to-table feasts? Well, rest assured, we’re looking forward to welcoming you and ensuring your visit surpasses expectations. But, here’s the deal, we know you’re a responsible, conscientious traveler, but we’re giving you the chance to shine even brighter. That’s why we’ve whipped up our Responsible Travel Pledge where you can pledge to take responsibility for your actions and be mindful of the impact you and your travel companions might have. Are you in? Let’s do this!
Be respectful
Welcome to our home. We hope to share PEC’s values, culture and community while you’re here.
Plan ahead
Take time to research, reserve and plan your trip before you leave home. PEC is much bigger and busier than you think.
Make a reservation at one of our delicious restaurants, and check out what events are happening when you’re in the region.
Leave no trace
Leave PEC as you found it or possible, better than when you arrived. If you're camping, pack out all your garbage. Please don't use our quaint small-town trash cans for household waste, and avoid dumping or creating fire pits on farmland, as it damages crops and harms the environment.
Support local
There is an abundance of County-made products. Have fun discovering them!
Check in
Visitor information kiosks are ready to help you travel smart by providing trip tips and local know-how.
Drive safe
Practice safe driving habits on our rural routes. Be mindful to share the road with farm equipment, cyclists, and yes, even turtles. Stay alert for slow-moving vehicles and exercise patience when sharing the road with farmers.
Go green
It’s in our ‘nature’ to protect PEC. Tread lightly and lower your impact on the environment.
