From Jan. 1 through March 31, 2021, select Sussex County hotels will collaborate with Southern Delaware Tourism (SDT) to offer special extended-stay discounts for remote workers, homeschooling families and others seeking to âchange their points of view,â said Scott Thomas, SDTâs executive director.
âOur president-elect isnât the only one who enjoys retreats to Southern Delaware,â Thomas said. âThose of us working from home have spent most of this past year staring at our own backyards or at our neighbors questionable siding choices. We mean âChange Your Point of Viewâ quite literally. If youâve been working from home for any length of time, odds are youâre more than ready for a change of scenery, and Southern Delaware is a nearby, spectacularly scenic destination that feels wonderfully far away from your everyday life. This hotel promotion offers you the opportunity to escape without breaking the bank.â

The pandemic has definitely put a hurting on the economy of Sussex County, but through it all, there are people out there working extremely hard to protect those businesses that are already here and to seek new businesses that are looking to relocate. I have asked a number of Sussex Economic Development Action Committee members who work in economic development to provide you with a short report on their activities in these trying times. You can find their full reports on SEDAC’s web page at www.sedac.de.org, but here are some brief highlights from those reports.

SUSSEX CO., Del. – Hospitality experts estimate Sussex County lost more than 31-million-dollars in revenue during this year’s first six months, compared to that time last year. But they’re hoping a new promotion prevents that from happening again.
“We’ve been hit extremely hard during this pandemic and we need to think of something that can help us with that recovery and with that rebound,” says Benjamin Gray, the general manager of The Bellmoor Inn & Spa in Rehoboth Beach and chair of the Southern Delaware Tourism board.
Southern Delaware Tourism has partnered up with Sussex County hotels for two new promotions in order to help the local hospitality industry. “If there’s one thing I learned about our hotels this past year is that they are incredibly resilient and they love the fact that they can persevere through this challenge,” says Gray.
