@NorthstarMeets Not surprised!

#Delta is rethinking changes it had announced to its loyalty program, with the #airline's CEO saying they went too far. The changes were criticized on social media, with some frequent flyers vowing to take their business elsewhere.

#Abortion rights are top of mind once again, as Gov. #DeSantis signed a six-week ban into law. It won’t go into effect right away, as #Florida's existing abortion law is still being challenged in the state's Supreme Court.

Should you #boycott a #destination because of #abortion-related legislation? The #meetings and #events industry has some advice on how to make that difficult decision.

[Northstar Meetings Group @NorthstarMeets]

Industry associations have been collaborating to address #abortion-related legislation and its impact on #siteselection decisions. Their message: Controversial topics should not be ignored, nor should they disqualify a destination from consideration.

[Northstar Meetings Group @NorthstarMeets]

Concerned about the economic blow to cities and #hospitality suppliers, industry organizations addressed the issue of boycotting #travel to destinations with #abortion bans, offering alternatives and collaborating to find solutions.
