Vermont Chamber Statement on Revised Guidance Allowing Future Online Lodging Reservations
Today, Governor Scott amended his Stay Home, Stay Safe Order to allow Vermont lodging businesses to re-engage their online reservation systems immediately to book reservations beginning on June 15 or later.
Responding to the amendment, Vermont Chamber President Betsy Bishop said, “After listening to impacted businesses throughout the state, the Vermont Chamber urged the Governor to change his guidance and allow lodging properties to make future reservations while still adhering to his Stay Home, Stay Safe order. No other state has imposed this level of restriction on the lodging industry, so we are pleased that the Governor revised his order. This action will help lodging businesses, many located in rural communities throughout the state, recover once the order is lifted.”
The Vermont Chamber will continue to work with state leaders to elevate business community concerns and swiftly address issues during the COVID-19 pandemic.
