The Path of Recovery for Hospitality Industry: How Long Can It Take - ReAnIn Report

HYDERABAD, India, March 17, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The hospitality industry was one of the worst-hit by the COVID pandemic as it limited people's movement, domestic or international. According to World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC), the travel & tourism sector suffered a loss of almost USD 4.5 trillion in 2020 and the sector's contribution to GDP decreased from 10.4% in 2019 to 5.5% in 2020. Moreover, about 62.5 million jobs were lost in this sector in comparison with 2019. The decline in spending was much more drastic for international visitors; spending decreased by 45% for domestic visitors and 69.4% for international visitors.

Ban on international flights and strict restrictions on domestic travel contributed to the decline of the hospitality market

At the peak of the COVID-19 outbreak, almost all countries banned international flights which resulted in international travelers coming down to near zero. Furthermore, to minimize the COVID-19 spread, various state/provincial governments had adopted some form of restriction on travel. These restrictions limited domestic travel and had a negative impact on the hospitality industry. The second and third-wave made the situation worse by creating an atmosphere of fear and uncertainty. According to an estimate, hotel occupancy had come down to about 20% in May 2020 in the US. The situation was either similar or even worse for resorts, restaurants, and other travel-associated facilities.

Higher vaccination rate and ease in travel restriction is expected to help in the bounce-back

More than 80% of people aged 5 years and more have received at lead 1 dose of COVID vaccines in the US, while 75% have received at least 1 dose in Europe. Furthermore, various governments have eased restrictions that will have provide a supportive environment for domestic and international travels. Owing to these factors, the hospitality industry has bounced back in 2021 but is behind the pre-pandemic level. According to WTTC, the travel and tourism sector generated USD 8.6 trillion in 2021, just 6.4% behind pre-pandemic levels. This trend is expected to continue in upcoming years and is likely to surpass the pre-pandemic level in 2023.

However, geopolitical tensions such as the crisis between Russia and Ukraine can delay this bounce-back as it is expected to have major economic consequences across the globe. For instance, gasoline prices have skyrocketed in the US which may negatively affect the hospitality industry.
