The cancellation of business conferences and conventions across the country is costing cities hundreds of millions of dollars in lost revenue as the COVID-19 pandemic devastates the tourism industry.

With virtually no leisure travel, the suspension of all in-person business gatherings is taking a multimillion-dollar bite out of an already suffering sector.

"They're the people that open doors and clean rooms and do all the things that are so essential to making that stay memorable and enjoyable, so it's very difficult to see so many people affected like this," Weir said.

Others such as the International Economic Forum of the Americas' Montreal conference, originally slated for June, are now on the calendar for December.
