Not going to happen. Orange County Florida just issued such an order. You go through the list of exemptions and just about every business is exempt except entertainment. Hotels are definitely exempt. Even the pool guy is exempt.

I don't think a single state that has issued the order has not exempted hotels. They are closing on their own for financial reasons.

Just read the order, from the exceptions it seems hard to tell what has to actually close. Perhaps just all the t-shirt and souvenir shops?

Makes sense to me. MVC system is all about designated buckets of inventory. The main ones being the legacy owners, Trust owners & Marriott itself which has even more sub-buckets. Marriott can't negate Legacy or Trust folks as this gums up the entire bucket system & creates legal imperatives which now are themselves entangled in Federal/state imperatives.

Non-owner rentals are the only portal Marriott can easily close down as states issue their own lock downs. In a weaker sense it means Marriott helps with some of the distancing policies states require. I'm curious about legacy/Trust folks who either can't make the journey or don't want to go. Anyone here writing about the Travelex insurance many of us buy from Marriott and if it offers any redress at all to this specific virus situation?

Retired folks such as ourselves have better ability to adapt & push disrupted travels into the future. Those tethered to jobs or other imperatives will have more difficulty trying to reconstruct disrupted destination travels.
