Visit Orlando launches Tourism Help Hub
Visit Orlando has rolled out a new online resource to help small businesses and impacted workers navigate the various financial assistance programs.
Tourism Help Hub offers options for applying for financial relief for tourism related businesses as well as furloughed and laid-off workers.
It details information about current job opportunities, where to find local food banks, and discounts for health care workers and first responders.
"We recognize that our local business owners are consumed with many difficult day-to-day decisions. Our priority with this hub is to filter through the significant amounts of information and resources we are exposed to daily and help highlight what they most need," said George Aguel, president and CEO of Visit Orlando.
Tourism-reliant Central Florida has been hit extremely hard with all major theme parks shuttered.
Florida’s unemployment assistance procedures have been heavily criticized as inadequate, even before the pandemic.
Funds for SBA’s Small Business Emergency Bridge Loans ran out after only a fraction of the 38,000 applications received money.
Visit Orlando has also been holding webinars to engage and prepare tourism businesses for the post-coronavirus recovery.
