Hospitality Minnesota as an organization is a hybrid model of unifying the voice of over 3,000 hotels, restaurants, campgrounds, and resorts in the entire State of Minnesota under one umbrella. In a Covid-19 world with hotel occupancies challenged and restaurants at reduced capacity of 50%, many businesses with a new model of operation, and a lot of government assistance being deployed, now is a perfect time to get updates and learn how Hospitality Minnesota has reinvented itself.
