We will demonstrate to our guests that through the operational changes and precautions taken, it is safe to enjoy <span class=\"xn-location\">Chicago<\/span> again.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"xn-location\">Chicago&#8217;s<\/span> tourism, hospitality, meetings, and events industries were amongst the hardest hit by the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. As the City transitions through a phased reopening, this alliance of industry partners will work together to establish best practices and safety measures for the health and safety of residents and visitors alike when cultural institutions, hotels, attractions and restaurants return to regular business and welcome guests.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I applaud Choose Chicago&#8217;s commitment to developing safe, collaborative solutions to the profound impact COVID-19 has had on our city&#8217;s vital tourism and hospitality industry,&#8221; said Mayor <span class=\"xn-person\">Lori E. Lightfoot<\/span>. &#8220;Despite the challenges we face, the strength of our recovery is being built on forward-looking partnerships like these which are mutually supportive and rooted in the data of this disease, allowing us to build and grow more resilient, inclusive, and powerful than we&#8217;ve ever been.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>There are four components to the pledge:<\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li>SOCIALLY RESPONSIBLE PLANNING: We will put the safety of our patrons and employees first by adhering to public health guidance and direction and become leaders in socially responsible tourism and hospitality. <\/li>\n<li>DEDICATED AND STRATEGIC ENGAGEMENT: We will recognize the importance of taking a strategic and collaborative approach by dedicating the time to align across sectors and develop the phased plans we need to thrive in this challenging environment. <\/li>\n<li>AUTHENTIC AND INCLUSIVE EXCELLENCE: We will work together to spur the traffic of <span class=\"xn-location\">Chicago<\/span> visitors and guests by enhancing our efforts to create unique ways to leverage all of the city&#8217;s dynamic neighborhoods and authentic assets. <\/li>\n<li>UNPARALLELED <span class=\"xn-location\">CHICAGO<\/span> ADVOCACY: We advocate for all that <span class=\"xn-location\">Chicago<\/span> has to offer by cross-promoting offerings and collaborating on shared offers to create a mutually beneficial environment for the industry and ultimately a stronger economy for the city.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Additionally, Tourism &amp; Hospitality Forward announced an outreach and engagement framework that participants can leverage to bring visitors back to <span class=\"xn-location\">Chicago<\/span> when the time is right. The framework includes:<\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li>Promoting <span class=\"xn-location\">Chicago&#8217;s<\/span> reopening in a calibrated manner with programs and promotions, such as staycations, designed to engage local audiences. <\/li>\n<li>Launching seasonal initiatives to bring leisure travelers to <span class=\"xn-location\">Chicago<\/span> with an emphasis on neighboring states. <\/li>\n<li>Reinforcing that <span class=\"xn-location\">Chicago<\/span> will continue to be the best place to do business as the City competes for meetings and events. <\/li>\n<li>Maximizing all <span class=\"xn-location\">Chicago<\/span> has to offer through a unifying marketing campaign.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Planning has been underway with several working groups aligned by sector, including accommodations, museums and attractions, arts &amp; culture, festivals, and special events including sports and a dedicated focus on unique and diverse neighborhoods.\u00a0\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;These groups initially began meeting to focus on initial and almost immediate reopening strategies,&#8221; said Eden. &#8220;They have now evolved and have been rolled up to collaborate with and support Mayor Lightfoot&#8217;s longer-term Reopening and Recovery Task Force, including marketing and economic development for the City as a whole.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The traditional visitor and convention delegate will remain our ultimate goal in the recovery process,&#8221; said <span class=\"xn-person\">David Whitaker<\/span>, President &amp; CEO of Choose Chicago. &#8220;In the early phases of reopening we are going to have to focus and rely on our local residents, nearby suburban and regional visitors and the drive market as a whole. While they will be the first to easily return to their favorite spots and activities, they can also be ambassadors as we welcome guests and visitors back to <span class=\"xn-location\">Chicago<\/span>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>For more information about Tourism &amp; Hospitality Forward or to sign up, visit <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=2809988-1&amp;h=477398103&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.choosechicago.com%2Fpartners%2Fcovid-19-resources-for-partners%2Ftourism-hospitality-forward%2F&amp;a=here\" rel=\"nofollow\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><b><u>What Others Are Saying About Tourism &amp; Hospitality Forward<\/u><\/b><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We understand that re-opening businesses is not a one-size-fits-all approach.

But when we talk about reopening responsibly, restaurants have a distinct advantage. Our teams are already accustomed to operating at the highest of standards when it comes to sanitation. Managers, chefs, servers, and bartenders complete mandatory certification courses equipping them with knowledge and best practices designed to protect the well-being of their employees and guests on a daily basis. As we set our sights on reopening, our already health-focused industry has a strong foundation for implementing clear guidelines that will allow their businesses to safely resume dining room service while prioritizing public health.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><b>About Choose Chicago<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Choose <span class=\"xn-location\">Chicago<\/span> is the official sales and marketing organization responsible for promoting <span class=\"xn-location\">Chicago<\/span> as a global visitor destination leveraging the city&#8217;s unmatched assets to ensure the economic vitality of the city and its member business community.
