With things starting to slowly open back up and return to normal, many Minnesotans are looking forward to traveling again.

Consumers are anxious to travel, but also concerned about their safety. Travel and tourism businesses across the state are listening and have made visitors' safety a priority, implementing stringent safety protocols including increased sanitization, contactless check-in, staff wearing masks and more.

 

Due to the Coronavirus, the travel industry has been hit hard financially and are hoping to bounce back and recover. Since Mid-March, many people have been staying at home and with things slowing starting to open back up, people are looking to get back out and enjoy nature and travel.
