Police with the Metropolitan Bureau of Investigation announced on Wednesday the arrests of two women and a man who are accused of trafficking at least three teens for sex acts at several hotels in Orlando.

Of course, it depends on when you book and how savvy you are at tracking airfare deals, but scoring a great deal on a flight these days certainly isn’t impossible.

Michael Corrigan, the CEO of Visit Jacksonville, said hotel occupancy in the River City is in the 54% range, which he adds is better than most cities in the state and across the country. The Paycheck Protection Program was included in the CARES Act federal stimulus package approved in the spring by Congress. Those efforts peaked Friday when he lifted state business restrictions, such as a 50% indoor occupancy limit at restaurants. The national hotel association estimates the industry accounted for 201,433 jobs in Florida before the pandemic hit the state in March. Last Friday, Sheraton Vistana Resort, Sheraton Vistana Villages and Marriott Resorts, all in Orlando, updated layoff notifications to the state.

Now, News4Jax has obtained a memo from the RNC, which was sent to local hotels. It shows where all delegates from the different states will be staying and the areas of Northeast Florida that will be impacted. In all, 44 area hotels -- in locations that include downtown, the beaches, the Southside, Orange Park, St. Augustine and Amelia Island -- will be used. Visit Jacksonville has been working with hotels since it was first announced that the RNC will be coming to the River City. Remember that Visit Jacksonville is always looking out for the safety of the tourists that come to visit our city.

Jacksonville is the front-runner to host some or all of the Republican National Convention, a committee chairwoman said Wednesday. St. Johns has about 6,300 hotel rooms countywide. Former Jacksonville Mayor John Delaney has insight from helping organize the Super Bowl in 2005 when a surplus of visitors came to the city. “Super Bowl is 100-120,000 people, and the convention maybe half of that, so there should be enough hotel rooms, again, depending on what kind of outpouring comes out,” Delaney said. Ron DeSantis has previously said that Orlando and Miami could be ideal locations because of the number of hotel rooms.
