Respect Morgan Hill: Moya Arts Project
The Responsible Travel Code, RESPECT California, is a set of principles created by Visit California encouraging safe and responsible travel behavior. Each principle serves as a positive reminder for visitors and locals to be informed and courteous when they visit destinations. Respecting our friends, neighbors, local cultures, and environments keeps us safe and makes visiting more enjoyable. Learn what businesses in Morgan Hill are doing to support health & safety.
Visit Morgan Hill has taken the Responsible Travel Code a step further, bringing each principle to life with a set of new art pieces in Morgan Hill, created by Moya Art Gallery and Studio. We’re proud to partner with local artist Nacho Moya, who is a Morgan Hill resident with his gallery and studio based in Gilroy. Follow along to see these beautiful art pieces completed and join us in honoring the responsible travel code!

Roam Responsibly
I will explore California thoughtfully and responsibly, maintaining the utmost respect for everyone and everything I encounter.
Educate Myself
I will do my research before traveling across the state, familiarizing myself with local regulations and community concerns, which may have changed over time. This is especially important in rural communities with limited healthcare resources.
Safety First
I will follow public health directives from government officials, including physical distancing measures. I will take all necessary steps to minimize health risks to myself and others and stay home if I’m sick.
Preserve California
I will protect and nurture the Golden State’s pristine outdoor spaces and cultural icons, by maintaining a light footprint at every turn and paying special attention to delicate ecosystems.
Embrace Community
I will support local businesses and do my part to ensure the long-term prosperity of the places I visit.
Celebrate Culture
I will immerse myself in California’s diverse local cultures and embrace the traditions and practices I encounter.
Teach Others
I will lead by example and share these practices with fellow travelers, acknowledging that we all share the responsibility to protect California.
