OA MEA E AVEA MAI LENEI TUSI:

Following the COVID-19 outbreak in mid-March, which led to devastating financial losses in the state's lodging sector, a group of hoteliers formed a network to create a path forward for safety and business continuation as well as stronger connections to the state legislature and governor's office.
As a result, the group collectively formed the Vermont Lodging Coalition, which began to outline the industry's advocacy needs and hired Downs Rachlin Martin (DRM) as a lobbying group to represent its members' interests and issues to the state government.
The newly formed Vermont Lodging Association will be a proactive advocate at the state government level for all its members, from the family-owned bed and breakfast to the mountain resorts.
