"It's gonna be a new, different normal, but I think we have to move forward. There's not much choice," Jones said. McBroom said that if the situation were reversed, and a virus was raging in the U.P. but had barely touched the Lower Peninsula, “you guys would have burned the bridge down already,” and would not have let what was happening Up North impede the economy of the rest of the state.
"I've got a lot of very eager members, hoteliers, restaurateurs, bar owners, who'd like to see some normalcy, they'd like to get back to business," said Trevor Tkach, president of Traverse City Tourism."For us, that means welcoming guests, maybe in a different fashion than we have in the past. Right now we're going to have to do business differently."
"If we do not have tourists here starting in June, there are a whole bunch of places going to not make it through the winter," he said."We literally have 90 days for a huge number of businesses to make their money."Jones said that he plans to buy an electrostatic disinfection sprayer that can be used on soft surfaces like beds and furniture as well as hard surfaces. They cost about $1,000, but he said it's worth the investment to reassure guests.
McKinley said that he expects limited business in the near term because the governor's orders don't yet allow leisure travel. Most Treetops players come from other parts of Michigan, or from other states, and spend the night. The open course should attract some locals who live within driving distance, but not a lot more.

Have they been social distancing?"Nadine Maliniak, 58, who owns and operates A Night to Remember Bed and Breakfast on Friday, May 1.
Mark Hume runs the Oscoda Canoe Rental on the Au Sable River in Oscoda. Guests park on his property near Lake Huron and he buses them to spots upstream where they put in canoes and kayaks to paddle back down. That business typically starts in earnest in June and he thinks it can be done safely with proper precautions.
As a sovereign nation, the community is not bound by Whitmer’s orders. Still, Bay Mills went into lockdown until the end of June and has a curfew from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. It also is instituting random testing to track illness. As of Wednesday, it had no confirmed cases. “This notion of dividing the state into regions just creates incentives for peopleto go to regions that are open.”
"We can’t afford to throw away all the progress we have made in mitigating this virus over the last month by rushing a return to normal, no matter how appealing that might sound," he said.Farmers hurting But the supply chain isn't set up to push 100% of the food through that channel, Smego said.
