With the Corona virus pandemic hitting planet earth; almost every industry has had to change its ways of doing things. The norm that we are all accustomed to has been destroyed by this micro foe that is only visible through a microscope, yet deadly enough to drop giants. A number of businesses has closed including some big ones while many have downsized and employed cost cutting measures, to stay afloat.
One of the industries on the receiving end of this “wrestling match” between the Corona virus and the world is the travel or tourism industry. It is one of the hardest hit since many countries have locked their borders, allowing only those with legitimate reasons to enter or exit. Even domestic travel has been halted until it is safe to travel again. Hotels and many in the travel industry need to embrace a new norm. This is to ensure that visitors or guests don’t just feel safe but are safe when staying at hotels.
