Two challenges currently (I recognize this is not the original thread/post city pairs) -
FL leadership basically denies C-19 is a problem in the state. Only that NY has it so sort of a scapegoat approach to the NE region (Despite lots of the $$$ in FL from the tri-state)
I don't think the demand is high nor will be anytime soon without the business travel part (people work in more expensive places but live in cheaper FL) as the peak family travel periods (Winter Break, Spring Break, Memorial Day) have all come and gone. When Orlando reopens that may give a clue but prior to that - not many families are comfortable spending thousands for a vacation stuck in a hotel room. Assuming the families have the thousands to spend vs. holding on to their jobs.
