Explore Waterloo Region CEO Minto Schneider talks about how hard the tourism sector has been affected throughout the past 17 months and the COVID-19 pandemic in an interview with CKMS.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Several hospitality and tourism places, like museums and theme parks, haven\u2019t been fully open for two summers now. Schneider discusses the importance of Step 3 in Ontario, which begins on July 16, and discusses how important health and safety protocols continue to be.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Schneider doesn\u2019t have an estimate on financial losses over the last year due to COVID-19, but imagines it is very high.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Many businesses were initially upset about Waterloo Region being held in step two of Ontario\u2019s reopening, but later understood the reasoning: the area was held back in the province\u2019s reopening because of a number of Delta variant virus cases in the area.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
