HALIFAX – Nova Scotia Hotel Association asks Prime Minister Iain Rankin for more clarity on his government’s COVID-19 reopening plan.
Association president Megan Delaney says hotels need clear reopening goals so tourists and business travelers can make plans.
Delaney said in an open letter posted Tuesday that the province’s hotels will have a hard time surviving the summer without tourists from outside the province.
She says without clear reopening dates, tourists could choose to vacation elsewhere.
The government Five-step reopening plan depends on the epidemiological situation of the province, the introduction of vaccines and the ability of its health system to cope with new infections.
The first step is to be implemented on Wednesday and includes measures such as the approval of retail stores with a capacity of 25 percent and the reopening of restaurant terraces with maximum capacity.
