Delaware Tourism Office answered COVID with education

One of the sectors of Delaware’s economy hardest hit by COVID-19 is tourism.

Hotel rooms were empty for months; bars, resorts and restaurants were closed; many employees lost their jobs; and business owners were left in financial limbo. The Delaware Tourism Office saw the challenges piling up and, according to its director Elizabeth Keller, got to work creating programs and initiatives to help tourism industry members pivot or reach new customers in different ways.
