- Golfer's Day: Do you think golfers are missing their time on the greens? Give them a shout out on your social media, repost a blog post that is golf related, or encourage golfers to return to your area for a round of golf when travel bans are lifted.
- Easter: Be sure to encourage your guests with a warm sentiment for Easter.
- Earth Day: Tell your guests what they can do to help protect their favorite slice of paradise, ask followers to share their best "nature" pictures, or repost old blog posts with appropriate "nature" based topics.
SEO Tips
- Website Maintenance/SEO Optimization: Work on enhancing/doing maintenance on your website, especially SEO Optimization, Site Audits, and Backlink Cleanup.

- Prepare a Promotional Strategy for Suppressed Demand: Once it is clear and safe for everyone to roam free, you can expect a huge spike in search for travel and tourism.
