“Our Industry is human-centric and without our network we would not be able to rebound from this crisis. Our industry is as strong as the relationships we have spent our careers nurturing. There are businesses big and small that without that one referral, one phone call or one sponsorship could mean the difference between closing our doors permanently or opening them up even just a crack to keep our staff working. ‘Be kind,’ the famous words of Bonnie Henry, British Columbia’s top doctor, are synonymous with ‘support each other.’” Heidi Hughes |
“Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the most significant trend is the need for social distancing and face coverings during meetings. Our hotels have created mock-sets reflecting these required new setups showing the new maximum-capacity charts and F&B no-touch options. Having this information to send to our clients helps educate them on our new and enhanced safety and cleanliness standards to ensure they feel safe when choosing our hotels.” Tracy Hunter |
“The inability to meet in person in large groups is certainly the single-biggest factor at play in our business right now. As things slowly reopen, the ripple effects for how this impacts our industry moving forward are just now being felt. Certainly, we are investing heavily in virtual meeting technology and digital strategy to support associations in a more comprehensive approach to virtual and online meetings, training, professional development, etc.” Molly C.
