ORLANDO, Fla. - Orlando is taking a few more steps toward getting back to normal.
A trade show is starting Friday at the Orange County Convention Center and the Rosen Plaza Hotel is getting ready to welcome back guests on Sunday.
The company says it has implemented some new safety measures. Earlier this month, Rosen Plaza Hotel announced it would layoff some of its employees.
All along International Drive, hotels usually full with business are now starving for guests.

"We’re struggling. The occupancy is below 10-percent. And just to break even on a hotel you need occupancy around 70-75 percent."
On Friday, the Orange County Convention Center will host the Together Again Expo, an industry event designed to provide a roadmap on how live events can safely get back to business following the impacts of COVID-19.
