The tourism industry has to reimagine live events during a pandemic. The biggest obstacle of COVID-19 for many of us in the meetings and convention business has been the restriction on gatherings of groups of people, which has caused plenty of postponement of events both small and large. This, however, has encouraged creativity through adaptation and we are seeing numerous viable options for hosting live events.
