Clean, Safe & Healthy. A Virtual Town Hall Follow-Up

-
Enjoy Peoria hosted a virtual town hall on Friday, May 15 to discuss how the Peoria Area tourism and hospitality industry can establish a Clean, Safe & Healthy initiative that creates a positive experience for guests in a post-COVID-19 world. By working together we can set a baseline for hospitality in our region as we begin to welcome back customers and visitors following the stay at home order.

During the town hall discussion, great conversations took place about some of the concerns our business owners have about reopening, special licenses and how the central Illinois public is feeling about this “new normal.” 

The following list of links is the start of a Clean, Safe & Healthy tool kit designed to help navigate the post-COVID-19 tourism and hospitality industry.
