The Hoosier Hospitality Promise is a joint effort by Lt. Gov. Suzanne Crouch, Indiana Destination Development Corporation (IDDC), Indiana Restaurant & Lodging Association (InRLA) and Indiana Tourism Association (ITA). Since the Hoosier Hospitality Promise launch, Indiana has seen almost 400 businesses make The Promise to ensure the safety of employees and consumers, according to a news release provided by Kosciusko County Convention and Visitors Bureau.
“We are extremely pleased to see the results from the Hoosier Hospitality Promise and to know that so many businesses have made this important pledge,” said Elaine Bedel, secretary and CEO of IDDC. “These resources and tools for local businesses are proving to be invaluable as we continue to work towards a safe reopening for all Hoosiers.”
Kosciusko County businesses are starting to make the Hoosier Hospitality Promise, meaning that federal, state and local health and safety guidelines were put in place and are being fully executed by key organizations and attractions in order to help the entire state get Back on Track.
“We need businesses, attractions and organizations in Kosciusko County to take a few minutes to make The Promise. Our destination must be represented. By doing so, we are committing to getting our stop and go economy back on track through the expression of enhanced safety practices for our consumers and visitors,” said Jill Boggs, chief executive officer of the Kosciusko County Convention and Visitors Bureau.
Businesses and consumers can make The Promise by visiting HoosierHospitalityPromise.com. By making the Hoosier Hospitality Promise, businesses ensure that they are:
• Following guidelines set by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
• Following guidelines for their specific sectors.
• Practicing social distancing and wearing face coverings.
• Regularly cleaning and sanitizing common areas based on CDC recommendations.
• Staying home, if sick.
• Displaying the Hoosier Hospitality Promise on their entrances.
When consumers make The Promise, they commit to making Indiana healthier by following guidelines set by the CDC, practicing social distancing, wearing face coverings and not going out if sick, the release states. In return, consumers receive a digital Promise Pass, giving them access to exclusive discounts at select participating businesses.
“It’s wonderful to see so many local businesses making the promise to better serve Indiana citizens and to keep them safe,” said Patrick Tamm, president of INRLA. “These impact numbers demonstrate that Indiana and the state’s restaurants, hotels and tourist attractions are putting in the necessary time and effort to keep their guests as safe as possible from COVID-19.”
The Kosciusko County Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB) is a civic not-for-profit organization. Dedicated to promoting Kosciusko County as a travel destination to leisure travelers, group tour operators and meeting planners through destination marketing efforts, it is often seen as the welcome mat to economic development. Travel impact in 2015 totaled $162.2 to the county and created 1,935 jobs. Offices are at the visitor center located on U.S. 30 in Warsaw. The center was built in 1999 for the sole purpose of serving and welcoming visitors and locals alike to share the many hospitality attributes in the county.
