Walt Disney World and its largest union have reached an agreement to require the Florida theme park's workers to show proof of a COVID-19 vaccine by Oct. 22, according to Hollywood Reporter.

All 30,000 members of the Service Trades Council Union, which includes employees of the theme park's hotels, shops, attractions and restaurants, must show proof of receiving the vaccine by the deadline. Any union member who refuses to be vaccinated without proof of a medical reason or "sincerely" held religious belief will lose their job but still "retain positive rehire status," according to the agreement.

“The company has established a process to address requests for an accommodation related to the required COVID-19 vaccination due to a disability or medical condition or a sincerely held religious belief, practice or observance," the agreement document states.

This year, roughly 3,000 students will travel from red-list countries to study at Scottish institutions, where they will be expected to undergo a 10-day quarantine in a designated hotel, costing up to 2,285 pound sterling ($3,135.87), the BBC reports.

Many universities are covering the cost for their international students, but some are expecting students to pay for their quarantine stays. The National Union of Students in Scotland has urged the Scottish government to cover that cost instead.

Though much is still unknown about how and when the hotel industry will recover from the pandemic, data is helping paint a picture of a recovery in which labor, market segmentation and profitability will all be variables, writes Hotel News Now's Dana Miller.

The number of hotels that have achieved 60% occupancy or better has been increasing over the summer months thanks to leisure demand, but occupancy levels could change over the next several weeks, said STR Vice President of Analytics Isaac Collazo. STR is CoStar's hospitality analytics firm.

The top-performing hotels, or "hustlers," composed 31% of STR's reporting hotels, and were between 10 and 20 years old, medium-size, upscale and upper midscale, and suburban.

Due to a surge in COVID-19 cases causing Hawaii's hospitals to be at capacity, Gov. David Ige has urged tourists not to visit through October, USA Today reports.

The announcement made on Monday doesn't mean travelers can't still visit Hawaii, but there's speculation the COVID-19 testing requirement will return. Since October, visitors have been able to enter by presenting a negative COVID-19 test, but in July the state dropped that requirement for vaccinated travelers.

"I think it's important that we reduce the number of visitors coming here to the islands," Ige said in a separate interview Monday with the Honolulu Star-Advertiser. "Certainly, I expect cooperation from the visitor industry."

Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky said his company is immediately enacting a program to host 20,000 Afghan regufees, paid for by Airbnb, CNN reports.

Since Afghanistan's capital, Kabul, was overrun by the Taliban in recent days, tens of thousands of people have been trying to leave.

"The displacement and resettlement of Afghan refugees in the U.S. and elsewhere is one of the biggest humanitarian crises of our time. We feel a responsibility to step up," Chesky said in a series of posts on Twitter.

Chesky did not say how long this program would run.
