the pandemic stopped these

tourism industry overnight leaving 25,000 hotel workers unemployed. >> hotels have been mostly empty the past year. the question is what is it going to take to get those week looking at the path forward. it is kind of cricket for the tourism and convention business. take a look around sasasa francisco. downtown san francisco it is a very quiet place these days. when the pandemic had most of the cities hotelscities hotelscs the overall impact of losing tourism and conventions was about an $8 billion loss for the bay area and and affected about 65,000 jobs. now the operators of the hotels and convention business and restaurant are wondering how long it will take for the tourist destination to recover and they are not getting any help. >> when san francisco went into shelter in place over a year ago the downtown looked like a ghost town. one of the most hard-hit

industries was the hospitality industry. the areas they count on tourists to fill the shops, restaurant and hotel rooms all empty. the convention center had been converted into a vaccinationa vn of. hundreds of rooms have sat empty for almost this hotel which was rebuilt after the 1906 earthquake promises to come back from this disaster too. they are using the down time to do some remodeling. >> this was the the >> they have always weathered it. i look at that picture every day. i think about the pandemic and how we hethe out ead. erwill be a box like this. >>

of the western st. francis hotel and also oversees nine other marriott branded hotels across the city. many hotels across the city have been shuttered for more than one year because there has been little demands for hotel rooms. getting people back isback isbas matter of vaccinating millions of tourists the people need a reason to come back to san francisco. when they get here, things need to be open for them to visit. >> for the tourists to come there has to be conventions. for there to be conventions there has to be guidelines and safety. that hasn't happened. for the conventions and tourists to come they will want to see stores. a lot of thstoresare cledup. need the toe tourts nt come to a reopened. >> i think as attractions are opening and as a restaurants are reopening, our retailers have been able to whether it.

sadly, we have lost so many of them. hopefully as this cycle begins, we will see the critical mass come together. >> what specific changes have made heremade herermade here more plexiglas up? how many people will be in the elevators? are you going to allow people in the ballrooms? what are we doing? >> we have attacked every front from driving in, parking your car, walking in and ensuring the appropriate sanitizersappros socially distancing. the way food is served knowing people will not want to share utensils. all of those tiny elements from beginning to end, we have had unfortunately, more than enough time to work on it. we areped. >> people's comfort level is at play. >> some marriott properties are closed but there are signs that things are starting to pick up. >> you have seen an uptick as things go? >> correct. it is still very quiet.

>> honestly, weekends we are seeing that uptick. that is the natural tinatural ti as the summer goes we hope that extends into the week. >> what is your capacity right now? still about 10% occupancy. about 120 rooms. > we have a long way to go. there is a long way to go. >> app. >> don't forget we started at 2- 3. it is baby steps to there. >> just up the hill, the fairmont hotel close for two months when covid-19 cases searched. it reopen in february. >> i drove to by the fairmont several times at night and the whole place was dark. what were the least amount of guests you had when you were open? >> less than 5% occupan5% occupc for us, that is 20 rooms. >> out of have any? >> out of 660. >> it must have

was it a bit spooky? >> i live in the hotel. there is nobody in this building. a lot of the times you look up on the tower which is the only place we would have guests. there is only 10 or 20 lights on. it is sad to see when you are used to being a near full capacity at all times. those are the days we are in. i think for us, sometimes, when we reopened in february it was also important to be open. i think what it means to our neighborhood and for our employees to be open, we feel at the occupancy we are today, it is still only 10% it is better for us to be open than to be closed. i think we feel comfortable at this current level. it is still only 60-80 rooms per night but it is better than not being open at all. >> while not a boom, it is progress to make the guests feel safe. >> you have to get close until you get the green light. >> the cities move into the

orange tier. >> our expectation is we will move to yellow before the end of april. it is exciting for the first time to hear that there is a green tear coming. we certainly assume they will have meetings and guideline expectation for us.for us.for us we will >> what happens when people collett would like to book a meeting for june, july, august? >> for today, we book it. we are working on internal guidelines. we will assume there are restrictions. we are working though one market that is very busy is weddings. we are seeing a lot of demand for weddings. >> people coming in to try to book weddings? >> constantly. we do lots of torts. >> when will you be able to do them? >> we have some in the books

for june and july but people are well aware that there could be restrictions. they are quite flexible to move them into later in the year. >> while weddings will help fill rooms, conventions and big meetings are the real bread and butter of the hospitality industry. so far, the state of california hasn't even given any guidelines on how california, let alone san francisco for that matter, can move forward in booking these big meetings. >> the challenge lot of other states have guidelines that exist. they say well if i can't book in california maybe i will go to arizona or somewhere else where the guidelines exist. we are waiting for those guidelines. i thk weor hope they will be. >> it must be frustrating. >> i can appreciate the approach california and i think san francisco has taken to get this far to make sure we can safely get to it. the numbers speak for themselves. we needed. when we get a i think we can proactively reach out to our customers that we are open business.

i think we will see lots of proactive marketing coming out from everyone. i think we will come back very strong. >> that recovery is projected to take a long time. the hotel industry will not just be about tourists coming back and filling up those rooms and filling the local economy. it will also be about saving the jobs of thousands of people who lost them in counsel. >> a full recovery will probably be about four years. >> and these places survive? >> i would hope so. for us it is starting to get people comfortable traveling. i think with the vaccines there are people that are more comfortable. absolutely! we want to get people to come back. are prepare. hotels have been working for a year. >> what impact has the workers? >> they are starting to bring back workers now. as the business starts to come back we will start to bring back workers.

it is a huge impact for our employees. before the pandemic we had almost 25,000 employees in san francisco just in hotels. now, the majority are in a furlough situation or have been laid off. we want to bring them back as soon as possible. over half of the employees live in san francisco. for us, bringing employees back also helps the local economy as well. >> as you can see, everything is interconnected. downtown, the hotels, the offices. the tourists need big conventions to survive.to survie they need tourists to survive but most importantly they need the tourism and tourists to keep people employed. >> can still not have a plan for getting those confessions and big meetings back? >> as one staffer said, it should come as is too much of a shock the state can't figure out how to open up schools yet let alone a convention. >> earlier this month over 150

restaurant tourists and convention centers and cities sent the governor a letter saying we have got to get this done fss possible. they haven't got an answer but they are hoping for the end of the month. >> wow! be patient everybody. >> hold on. how do you wait until your job comes back? >> app. obviously that is not something obviously that is not something so you just scored amazing savings at ross? mmm-hmm. on brands that take you from me time... ...to go time... ...in no time. hi. get the best bargains ever on looks that work anywhere... ah, the first apartment. minimum decor. ..maximum entertainment. they've got a flex 4k streaming box included with their internet. and with disney plus on the way,
