Dear WH&LA Lodging Member:
Governor Tony Evers has just released state Industry Guidelines for returning back to business, while still complying with his “Badger Bounce Back” Plan based on numerous metric requirements to be achieved before moving to a first phase. Many of the industries covered, such as lodging (through WH&LA), restaurants (WRA), bars (TLW), and pools (through a coalition WH&LA participated in), took advantage of the opportunity to remit suggested guidelines to both DATCP and Tourism (who forwarded to WEDC, the entity overseeing the compilation). Many of our suggestions for the lodging industry, compiled by WH&LA’s Task Force, were incorporated, along with a number that were added by state agencies, demonstrating the importance of fast and extensive action by industry groups to avoid mandates or guidelines from the state without our input. The following are the key brochures relating to your business, with each one from 4-6 pages:
More components described as “Coming Soon” are: "Outdoor Recreation" and "Outdoor Gatherings”.
It may be helpful to bookmark the entire WEDC website section on
Reopen Guidelines
in order to check back at any time for any changes or additions.
Stay well,
Trisha
