November seems to be the month to be reminded to be thankful; and while this year has proven challenging for most of us; we all still have a lot to be thankful for. Our health, safety, family, relationships, provision; the list goes on…
Frankly, looking back to March, I never thought the pandemic would last this long. I had high hopes that our industry would be on its way to recovery by now. While we await a resurgence of meeting face to face; our team continues to reach out in local markets to our hotel suppliers to experience first-hand the options for meetings and events given the current realities. We have had a few great programs execute in recent weeks giving us a ray of hope and encouragement that our industry can and will meet safely. While 2020 certainly won’t turn out as expected; we still have time to finish strong and be thankful for what we do have! Happy Thanksgiving.
