As we talked with American hotel and resort operators over the past couple weeks, we heard a pretty steady refrain..."no group cancellations, yet." Even yesterday morning's edition of Skift reported that only 1 in 10 travelers have changed their plans due to fears over COVID-19.
That all ended yesterday, as reports from Nashville, San Jose, Anaheim, Miami and others began to trickle out that a handful of U.S. conventions have canceled or been postponed.
And, that the media is on these stories...it's bound to get worse.
In response, Destinations International yesterday launched a special page on their website to serve as an information hub for DMO pros to share factual data about the growing crisis.
Hang on...
