At Naples Grande Beach Resort (pictured), which has the most meeting and event space in Naples with 83,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor space, over 85% of the resort’s group and event reservations this spring have been rescheduled to a later date, rather than cancelled completely. Overall, 40% of the resort’s business comes from groups and events.
“This is a testament to the strength of the travel industry community,” said Melinda Hutchins, Director of Sales and Marketing for Naples Grande Beach Resort. “We’re being extremely flexible with all travel plans and circumstances right now. From planners to agents and hotels to futures guests, we all need to work together during these unprecedented times and inspire hope that we’ll get through this and travel more than ever when this passes.”
At Cheeca Lodge & Spa, which features 6,300 square feet of indoor and outdoor meeting and event space, over 90% of the resort’s group reservations and events for the Spring have been rescheduled to a later date.
“We are working closely with all of our groups to extend flexible terms, with most aiming to reschedule their travel plans for Q3, Q4 or early 2021,” said Brianna Birtles, Director of Sales and Marketing for Cheeca Lodge & Spa. “The overall feedback has been positive from the entire community. We look forward to continuing to work with planners, travel agents and hotel guests to ensure that we are able to welcome them back to Cheeca Lodge & Spa and the Florida Keys in the next coming months.”
