MONTREAL The Quebec government will not offer financial compensation to hotels in the province s red zone that cannot open their swimming pools for March break. Several hotel owners have said that not being able to open their pools is yet another crushing blow during a time when many are barely able to stay in business. The red zone hotels had originally been told they would be able to re-open the pools, but that decision was reversed last week and only municipal pools have been given the go-ahead to resume operating. Several hotels had been offering family packages for the break based on their pools being open. Eve Pare, president of the Greater Montreal Hotel Association, said some hotels had already seen cancellations, but that it s too early to assess the total losses.
The provincial government s decision to reverse course on allowing hotel pools in red zones to re-open for March break has members of an already drowning hospitality industry even more worried.
