Reopening is not Recovery: Virtual roundtable discussion

About

A new era is underway for the region’s tourism and cultural sectors as they find the best way to recover economically from temporary closure and to mitigate the risks from Covid-19 for visitors and staff.
 

How can those currently unable to re-open survive and keep their customer base engaged?

What is the best way to market your business after a such a devastating crisis?

What difference can strong leadership make?

Where are the seeds of growth and how can we optimise these?
