    Shapiro, Michael J. (Northstar Meetings Group, 2021-03-05)
    California Governor Gavin Newsome has put travel and tourism professionals in a bind by note clearly outlining guidelines towards re-opening the state and welcoming events back. The CVBs across California have been scrambling to maintain business and have had to beg clients to not cancel their meetings. Every month that California is closed to the travel and tourism industries, $4.1 billion is lost. The travel industry sent a letter, representing over 130 businesses, requesting Newsome to release clearer standards to get their teams back to work and generating revenue.

    How CVBs Are Surviving in the Age of COVID-19
    Grimaldi, Lisa A. (Northstar Meetings Group, 2020-09-08)
    As the pandemic continues, the need to revamp Conventions & Visitors Buerues has increased. CVBs are invaluable resources to the communities they support, but received no federal funding within the pandemic relief funds from Congress. This is due to the fact that CVBs are non-profit organizations that mainly receive revenue from hotel bed tax. The pandemic has allowed Destination International, the trade association that represents CVBs, to re-work CVBs business models and partner with neighboring bureaus or individuals. Fortunately, a handful of CVBs have received local funding, but many are struggling to stay afloat with several furloughs and job cuts.
