We are entering a new reality that we have the power to shape. The world has changed. So have we. We’ve become stronger, more resilient and more innovative. We all play a part in keeping each other safe.

 

To help our business community get back to earning a living and providing jobs in the tourism industry, several groups joined together to provide extensive minimum best practices and a procurement list for supplies.

 

The Warren County Lodging Association, the Lake George Regional Chamber of Commerce, the Adirondack Regional Chamber of Commerce and the Lake George Regional Convention & Visitors Bureau in conjunction with the Warren County Tourism Department and government officials established a commission to develop specific guidelines and best practices for safely reopening four sectors of tourism in Warren County — Hospitality, Food & Beverage, Retail and Entertainment.

 

These minimum best practices draw from guidance from the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention, New York State Health Department and the best practices of major corporations within each sector of tourism.

 

In addition, businesses that are in each phase of the reopening plan must read and affirm detailed guidelines provided by New York state. All businesses in our community — whether they are typically classified as tourism related — are eligible to receive this badge if they take one of the pledges below. 

 

• Hospitality
• Food & Beverage
• General Business Community
• Retail 
• Attractions/Entertainment
