The pandemic is coming to an end and Braemar Hotels & Resorts (BHR) has faced the worst of it. The embattled luxury hotels and resorts real estate investment trust which had seen both its stock price and financials slide over the course of the pandemic has been staging a comeback in the recent weeks.

The stock traded up to the $4.30 range from $2.50 following positive efficacy reports from the large-scale Phase 2/3 clinical trial conducted by Pfizer / BioNTech on their COVID-19 vaccine candidate. The news gave investors a glimpse of a new world where stay-at-home orders were a thing of history and people spoke about COVID-19 in the past tense. This improved sentiment is likely to get even better following an FDA approval for emergency use authorization and means Braemar has likely faced the worst of the pandemic.

Braemar and its industry peers are likely to move even

Forbes Travel Guide and Sharecare issue world’s first health security verifications to hotels and resorts across 12 countries

Addressing the critical need to establish confidence with guests and travel planners in the age of COVID-19 and beyond, Sharecare’s health security verification comes with an easily identifiable “seal of approval” – the Sharecare Health Security VERIFIED® with Forbes Travel Guide badge – for hotels to display on their official websites and on-property.

“Restoring guest confidence is a critical objective for the entire global hospitality industry, especially hotels and resorts,” said Filip Boyen, CEO of Forbes Travel Guide. “To their credit, hotels have invested heavily in setting up health safety procedures, but they have placed the burden of assessing their programs – and assuring individual properties are following them – onto the guest or travel advisor. This conflicts with the guiding principles of hospitality, not to mention the carefree joys of travel. By earning the VERIFIED® badge, hotels now have a credible way to broadcast that they are following

Kauai requires COVID-19 quarantines or ‘bubble resorts’

Hawaiian officials are stiffening restrictions on travelers to Kauai, requiring nonessential visitors to the island to quarantine for 14 days, starting Wednesday.

That move, prompted by rising U.S. infection rates, sets Kauai apart from its Hawaiian neighbor islands, where visitors can avoid quarantine by testing negative for COVID-19 before boarding flights to the islands. (Details vary by island.)

The change comes as several Kauai hotels claim status as “bubble resorts,” also known as “resort bubbles” or “enhanced movement quarantine properties.” Visitors will be allowed to spend their quarantines — or a shorter period — at those resorts, typically with access to swimming pools, resort restaurants and other amenities, but without access to other island sites or businesses beyond resort walls.

According to the program, guests must test negative with a PCR-type COVID-19 test before crossing the Pacific, then take another test after three or four days on the island —

Minnesota ski resorts anticipate blockbuster year

Todd and Jeannette Sample woke up before dawn to register their three daughters for spots in a youth cross-country ski program that ended up selling out within hours.

On a sun-soaked Friday morning, the Minneapolis family arrived at Afton Alps ski resort to pick up their season passes and buckle into their downhill skis for a few runs.

“We always cross-country ski, but we decided because of COVID we are going to do both,” Todd Sample said. Their daughters, Greta, 11, Nora, 9, and Eva, 7, have been cooped up at home doing online school, which the girls sum up in one word: “Boring.”

Ski hills, cross-country ski facilities and city parks across Minnesota are bracing for a rush of winter visitors as virus-weary residents turn to the outdoors to find wintertime relief. Many locations are already open, albeit with man-made snow.
