When Coronavirus first broke out, most nations were ignorant of the later problem it could pose on the economy. After a couple of months, it became crystal clear how much of havoc the virus is capable of causing. In less than five months now, it has paralyzed more than what was initially envisaged. It broke out from the city of Wuhan, China, where it affected lots of people, also killed many. After a few months, countries with a significant number of migrations suffered critically. When you look at nations like Spain, Italy, and the United States, you will get to know how much damage the virus has caused them.<

Necessity is the mother of innovation. In a time where approximately 70% of hotel workers have lost their jobs, many hoteliers have frozen funds in order to save money. But when you freeze money, you’re not making money. And the hope to rehire these workers after the pandemic is diminished. <

With millions out of work and struggling to survive in the new reality that is coronavirus, one hospitality industry not garnering much sympathy due to the heirs surrounding them, are country clubs. Whether it’s their wealthy clientele, or the stigma of perceived snooty, elitist behavior, country clubs aren’t near the top of anyone’s list for doling out sympathy during these unprecedented times. Fair or not, the perception doesn’t take into account the staff working at these clubs.<

The Covid-19 pandemic’s impact on the travel and hospitality industry means changes and opportunities for your business. Here are 10 tips and some business advice for how hospitality managers can respond.<

Certain calamities seem unduly well-suited to particular industries. It’s hard to make the season’s catch of tuna during a bad year for hurricanes. Humvees and Limousines are a tough sell during periods of chronic, global fuel shortages. Locusts and drought can ruin a year’s crop. But nothing could have wiped out a major sector of the economy more thoroughly than the Coronavirus-19 did for hotels and travel.<

Renters need their landlord’s savvy as much as their compassion during the coronavirus health crisis. As of last week, rent was due for the first time for millions of frightened Americans, who now find themselves out of work during the coronavirus pandemic. Many renters are in a difficult position because the $2 trillion dollars economic rescue package provides far more to homeowners. These homeowners who have lost work are entitled to deferred mortgage payments, enabling them to continue to pay their regular payments again when they are able, by adding additional months on to the back end of their mortgage to make up for deferments. Landlords, property managers and residential building owners are all afforded these same benefits.<

Small business owners, especially those in the hospitality industries, have been some of the hardest hit by the coronavirus. Bars and nightclubs were some of the first ordered to close by the government, with restaurants following soon after.

With the rapid spread of coronavirus, the coworking industry has been forced to make difficult decisions in response. With many states implementing stay at home orders, which call for the closing of all non-essential businesses, coworking during the coronavirus has become largely impossible.

There is no doubt our world will be changed when we are able to return to “normal,” and coworking facilities will have to adapt in order to survive a post-corona world.<

Numbers for restaurant worker layoffs and furloughs are at an all-time high, with the U.S. Department of Labor reporting the industry lost 417,000 employees in the first 2 weeks of March alone. This staggering number is equivalent to two years of industry growth. Before March, the restaurant business had been consistently thriving for years. Due to the rising sickness and death count from COVID-19, states severely restricted dine-in services at restaurants to slow the spread. This change forced restaurants to protect their business by letting people go, consequently representing 60% of the total job losses for the month.<
