The move to reopen comes after Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine said nearby amusement park, Kings Island, could reopen June 19. Great Wolf also recently reopened a resort in Arizona.
Other brands already operating in the pandemic could shed even more light on what the new normal could look like. Hotel chain Hilton, for example, partnered with the maker of Lysol, and consulted with the Mayo Clinic COVID-19 Response Team to develop enhanced cleaning procedures. Meanwhile, Airbnb is enforcing stricter protocols, requiring rentals to stay vacant for at least 24 hours between checkout and a new reservation.
