Earlier this year, we asked you to bookmark your Indy trip until it was safe to travel again. We're confident that time is now, and we're excited to welcome you back safely and responsibly.

Our promise to you:

Indy's hospitality community has completed the Hoosier Hospitality Promise, in partnership with the Indiana Restaurant & Lodging Association and health officials across the state. When you see this endorsement, you can be certain that the venue is taking all necessary steps to protect their employees and customers and that they are taking a leadership role in protecting their community. 

In effort to keep Indy’s reopening stages safely progressing, the city has mandated that residents and visitors are required to wear masks in any indoor space or outdoor space. The masks can be removed while eating at a restaurant. The mask order excludes children under the age of 3, as well as anyone with a medical condition that prevents the use of a mask. Marion County residents may request free face masks at indy.gov/masks.

Indianapolis International Airport

Indy is home to the #1 Airport in North America for eight years in a row, according to Airports Council International and Conde Nast Traveler. Trust us, you can’t hold strong in the #1 slot if cleanliness levels aren’t exceptional.The Indianapolis Airport is taking the following measures to help protect the traveling public and fulfill their Hoosier Hospitality Promise:

• Using a multipurpose cleaner, degreaser, and sanitizer to clean and disinfect every surface from doorknobs to diaper changing stations in public-facing restrooms on an hourly basis. Kivac machines are also utilized daily with a hospital-grade disinfectant.
• Hand sanitizing stations are located throughout the terminal (pre- and post-security and the Ground Transportation Center). More hand sanitizing stations have been added in the public areas. 
• In locations where travelers congregate, IND is conducting extra cleaning, including the Civic Plaza food court seating area, visitor seating area, airline gate seating areas, and baggage claim.
