FAU Hospitality Expert: Pent-Up Demand Could Buoy Cruise Lines in 2021, but Other Segments Face Long Road Back

Expect More Restaurant Closures, Hotel Consolidations in New Year

BOCA RATON, Fla., Dec. 22, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The hospitality and tourism industry will lead Florida out of the coronavirus pandemic starting in 2021, but a full recovery likely will take years, says an industry expert within Florida Atlantic University’s College of Business.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention could relax its guidelines on cruising, whose pent-up demand is higher than most other industry segments, once about 20 million COVID-19 vaccines have been distributed, according to Peter Ricci, Ed.D, director of FAU’s Hospitality and Tourism Management program.

The cruise industry has the highest guest satisfaction ratings among any area of the hospitality and tourism industry, and the highest repeat percentage among any sector, he explained.

Ricci said major cruise lines likely will have full occupancy during their initial cruises, with demand heavy through 2023 and beyond. But expect activities and excursions to accommodate social distancing, and don’t count on those midnight buffets.

“The risk takers are ready to sail and are just awaiting approval,” Ricci said.

But he isn’t as optimistic about other industry segments, including theme parks, hotels and restaurants.

In 2021 and beyond, theme parks will struggle to reach prior attendance levels as global travelers remain cautious about overcrowding. Parades and fireworks displays, the decades-long mainstay for many attractions and theme parks, will have to be revisited. Outdoor seating with sufficient spacing between visitors isn’t a feasible plan, Ricci said.

“Theme parks and national parks will benefit from the perception that you can’t get COVID-19 while outdoors, but that’s just not true,” Ricci said. “Still, theme parks have the ability to respond faster than other industry segments because of the perception that the outdoor environment is safer.”

Ricci offers more 2021 predictions for Florida and the nation:

  • Business travel to other states and convention cities will take years to rebound. Working professionals are now accustomed to hybrid or virtual meetings, and companies have severely limited travel budgets.
  • With travel curtailed, hotels face a difficult 24 months at least, with average daily rates (ADRs) and occupancy levels near all-time lows. As a result, a wave of mergers, foreclosures and acquisitions is likely. Hotels will rely heavily on e-commerce, revenue management and digital marketing and social media professionals, who will become the sought-after hires of 2021 and 2022.
  • Restaurant growth in Florida will not occur until at least 2025. Many smaller restaurants won’t make it because they can’t afford the extra costs associates with COVID-19. Restaurants that do stay in business will struggle to find workers because safety concerns, higher stress levels and new demands placed on procedures and processes all will combine to make it a less-desirable career.

“Once the vaccine is widely circulated and people feel safer, the pent-up demand for travel will occur,” Ricci said. “Airlines, theme parks, cruise lines and hotels will all operate with discounts to entice travelers back in the early stages of this ‘freedom,’ but they will quickly move rates higher as soon as it’s justifiable.”

Joseph’s House of Camden Celebrates its 10th Anniversary

Camden homeless shelter has served thousands, helping them leave the streets and return to independent living

CAMDEN, N.J., Dec. 22, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Joseph’s House of Camden, a South Jersey homeless shelter committed to providing resources, social and housing services for those in need, today celebrated its 10th Anniversary since inception, and fondly looked back over its past decade of serving the South Jersey region.

Joseph’s House of Camden (JHOC) is a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit formed on December 22, 2010 by several founders including the late Fr. Bob McDermott. JHOC was formed in response to people sleeping on the front porch at St. Joseph Pro-Cathedral Church in East Camden. In January 2011, Joseph’s House opened its Café doors on Stevens Street and provided shelter and services there until January 2014, when it moved to its current location on Atlantic Avenue in Camden.

In August of 2013, with the help of TD Bank, JBJ Soul Foundation, Connelly Foundation, Camden City Office of the Mayor and City Council, and the Camden County Freeholders, Joseph’s House bought the building at 555 Atlantic Avenue and undertook a five-month renovation project. By January of 2014, Joseph’s House was operating 365 days a year, offering food, shelter and social services to 75-80 guests per night.

In late 2018, a neighboring community nonprofit that for years provided day services to the homeless suddenly closed its doors, and Joseph’s House saw an opportunity to provide for the long-term. JHOC launched a capital campaign that would raise the funds needed to improve and combine the existing 17,000 square foot facility and adjoining space under one roof, creating a one-stop shop for vital services, and a beacon of light, day and night for people experiencing homelessness.

Today, JHOC proudly operates an overnight program for 85 to 90 people (pre-COVID) per night. JHOC provides guests with two meals, dinner and breakfast, access to showers and laundry, mail drop services, and storage space for personal belongings. JHOC also provides day services in its Connection Hub, where people in need can find social services like counseling for mental health and addiction, help with navigating the social services network throughout the county, case management, employment, and housing services.

“It is so important that we first thank the founders, devoted employees, volunteers, donors, local businesses, and board and committee members who have so selflessly contributed their time, money, cooking, resources and perhaps most important – their compassion over the past decade,” said Shawn Sheekey, Executive Director at Joseph’s House of Camden. “Joseph’s House of Camden was founded with a simple vision of providing support and relief to Camden’s most vulnerable. Now, that vision has become much larger, but is also clearer than ever before. We are performing life changing work, enriching the lives of those we see every day in our facility, as well as their families, friends and the greater community. We look forward to another decade in Camden!”

About Joseph’s House of Camden

Joseph’s House of Camden is a non-profit emergency shelter that collaborates with community members and partners to aid men and women of South Jersey who are experiencing homelessness by offering a continuum of services including emergency shelter, access to supportive housing, and comprehensive social services. Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, JHOC has not missed a single day of service in 2020 and continues to operate, day and night, ensuring that those who need support will find it at Joseph’s House. Information and links to donate can be found on the website. Follow us on Facebook.

Spectrum Antimicrobials, Inc. Announces the Launch of its Animal Health Division

PETALUMA, Calif., Dec. 22, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Spectrum Antimicrobials, Inc., announces the launch of Vetricept Skin and Wound Care Cleanser, the first product launch in the Company’s new Animal Health Division. Vetricept uses a new patent pending formula developed for advanced wound care. Vetricept contains a modified chemistry containing hypochlorous acid (HOCl), which is naturally produced by mammalian immune systems to control and fight infection.

Brad Gordon, DVM, Chief Medical Director of the Animal Health Division stated, “After fifteen years of using hypochlorous acid-based products on wounds and surgical sites, the improvements made to the base chemistry used in Vetricept could result in significant advancements in wound care and may become a game changer for animal care. The new technology stays active in the presence of blood serum and other organic loads, unlike all other versions of HOCl. While the industry experienced modestly positive outcomes with earlier versions of HOCl based products, Vetricept can provide veterinarians with a better and more consistent clinical outcomes by using our more powerful chemistry.”

Successful wound healing requires an effective debridement of the wound bed to remove necrotic tissue and unwanted bioburdens while maintaining a moist wound environment to allow wound closure and healing. Vetricept provides an outstanding solution for cleansing wounds and provides an immediate reduction of inflammation, and topical itch and pain, key factors in the treatment of wounds.

Spectrum has recently donated more than 1,000 units of Vetricept to University of California (UC) Davis Veterinarian School of Medicine for use on injured wildlife and domesticated animals due to the recent Northern California wildfires.

In response to California wildfires earlier this year, UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine deployed its Veterinary Emergency Response Team (VERT) to join county-based animal control officers in their animal search and rescue operations. The teams, comprising of faculty veterinarians, staff and students, provided triage and first aid care behind fire lines for four days during the LNU Lightning Complex fire and 19 days during the Bear Fire/North Complex fire. In addition, they had teams providing veterinary medical care at emergency animal shelters, caring for their wounds daily. They treated animals with burns and other wounds, including cats, dogs, chickens, ducks, pheasants, sheep, goats, and horses. 

“Vetricept will help our teams’ care for these animals in future outreach behind the fire lines and in emergency animal shelters,” said VERT’s Coordinator, Dr. Lais Costa, MV, MS, PhD, DACVIM, DABVP. “We will also share the generous supply with services within the Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital that treat animal survivors of these devastating wildfires. We are grateful for this generous donation to help us to be of service for animals in need.” 

William Watson, Executive Vice President of Business Development and Global Sales added, “There are over 90 million cats and dogs, and over 9 million horses in the United States with over 100,000 veterinarians that work in over 35,000 clinics. Our goal is to bring innovative products to the market to treat the most common animal conditions.

Our partners are the Animal Health Professionals that operate clinics, and our goal is to create products using our new platform technologies that can dramatically improve outcomes for the animals treated. Spectrum is anticipating the launch of other Animal Health products in the U.S. and internationally in 2021. Our planned product launches include a wound healing hydrogel, which is designed for use in wound care.”

About Spectrum Antimicrobials, Inc.

Spectrum Antimicrobials, Inc. is an Infection Control Solutions Company focused on the development and commercialization of innovative HOCl-based chemistry platforms created for the treatment and prevention of infection in the healthcare industry. Our products contain broad spectrum antimicrobial actives that are highly effective against bacteria, virus, mold, fungi, and spores, including antibiotic resistant pathogens known as “Superbugs”. Many of our novel platform chemistries were designed as therapeutics to reduce patient treatment times and the economic impact on community and hospital acquired infections.

Key Digital’s AV over IP Solution Creates Winning Atmosphere in Tuscaloosa

Mount Vernon, New York, Dec. 22, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Lounging in Tuscaloosa’s only rooftop restaurant and bar while overlooking Bryant-Denny Stadium in the shadow of Alabama State University, patrons of The Bear Trap enjoy rooting for the Alabama Crimson Tide in an unparalleled atmosphere created by the many large displays and projectors throughout the two-level building, all thanks to Key Digital’s scalable AV over IP system and the sage expert integrators at EMB Pro AV.

At the beginning of their project to update the AV at their hit bar and restaurant, the owners at The Bear Trap assumed it would prove to be a daunting task to update the unruly wiring and dated AV infrastructure, consolidate expensive monthly subscription sources for a more economical solution, and modernize the atmosphere while staying true to their college sports bar roots. Enter the professionals at EMB Pro AV. With their focus honed in on providing the most robust system at a cost-effective price point, EMB Pro AV knew to turn to Key Digital for a reliable and trustworthy AV over IP system.

The system design included Key Digital’s KD-IP822 AV over IP encoders and decoders which seamlessly integrate with the installed third-party Creston control system. Key Digital’s AV over IP products, such as the KD-IP822, offer near-limitless scalability, and leave room for future expansion as often as the restaurant would like.

Thanks to the wisdom and suggestions of EMB Pro AV, the owners of The Bear Trap immediately saw how this new system would offer return on investment by nixing certain monthly costs, boost revenue ten-fold, and also offer ease of digital signage.

“Every month we’re already saving money on just the Comcast bill, because we were able to get rid of about 12 boxes that were previously mounted right at the televisions. That’s a great savings right off the bat. And now with this digital signage we can advertise specials and sell more than we ever have of certain premium liquors just by putting the names up on the displays and letting everyone know to ask for it by name. We’re looking into eliminating our printed specials inserts because the displays do such a better job of reaching everyone in the crowd. We’re really happy with the system and look forward to expanding the AV even further in the future,” said The Bear Trap owner, Daniel McCullum.

The Bear Trap prides itself on providing a top-notch staff and location right on the University Strip, where patrons can watch all of the Strip action from the rooftop and their favorite teams on the crystal-clear screens.
