CARES ACT

After last week’s passage of the CARES Act, we know that many of you have questions about what aid you may qualify for and how you can apply for it. VisitGreenvilleSC wanted to share several U.S. Travel resources that may help provide some answers and make sure our industry is getting the assistance it needs.
 

SUMMARY OF THE CARES ACT


CARES Act Webinar: Listen In

VisitGreenvilleSC participated in a webinar yesterday hosted by U.S. Travel. U.S. Travel walked members through the provisions of the CARES Act for which travel industry companies are eligible. Travel industry companies' eligibility varies by relief, but may encompass hotels, restaurants, attractions, meetings and events, tour operators, wineries, airports, and small businesses, among others. Please see these helpful resources below – all of which are also available on U.S. Travel’s CARES Act Relief Resources page. It is the intent to ensure as many businesses as possible are equipped to take advantage of the assistance available and provide guidance on how to navigate the recently passed relief package.
