SAFETY:

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many visitors may be wary to travel. Rest assured that visitor safety remains our top priority. Visit Dallas led the nation as the first destination to seek the Global Biorisk Advisory Council (GBAC) STAR accreditation, the gold standard for cleaning, disinfection and infectious disease prevention protocols. To date, the convention center, both airports and several dozen hotels and venues have achieved this stringent accreditation, certifying their facilities as sanitary and safe. Our unwavering commitment to this program and the safety of all visitors remains steadfast.
