The COVID-19 pandemic is evolving quickly and impacting tourism in a number of unprecedented ways. While macro-level impacts on the tourism industry are becoming rather obvious, innovative ideas and national data are developing out of this pandemic that can assist small town businesses and tourism economies as we progress and aim for recovery.

Hosted by Michigan State University Extension Tourism Team, this webinar series will include weekly national tourism reports and impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic, dive deeper into specialized topics, present a variety of strategies available to small towns, and allow for extensive community discussion.

This particular session shares strategies from the United Nations World Tourism Organization and Michigan State University Extension to address COVID-19 impacts on tourism.
