Encouraging a Safe Fourth of July
We are expecting our lodging to be near capacity for this coming weekend. It is now more important than ever that we take precautions to minimize the spread of the virus as we return to peak visitation during the month of July. Please review and share this clean and safe guide, which includes specialized itineraries for families and couples.

Latest Tourism Research
We will release new research reports every two weeks or as new data justifies. This week’s report has lots of new data and trends specific to Hamilton County.

Who’s Hiring?

26,000 people were employed in the hospitality industry in Hamilton County in June 2020. Up from 20,000 in April, but still down from 31,300 in 2019. As you are reopening and looking to rehire, we want to do our part to help connect businesses with potential team members. Please let us know if you are hiring for positions while opening/reopening your business. We will share this across our industry channels (email, LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook).
