Abstract

Hotels in India's hospitality sector are expected to drop sharply during the first quarters of 2020, due in large part to the outbreak of the covid-19 virus. The number of visitors and business travelers is drastically decreasing as a result of the temporary suspension of travel and the implementation of containment measures. There is a consensus amongst the owners of hospitality companies that the industry has poor business practices, is unable to pay employees' salaries and other obligations, generates low liquidity, is unable to repay loans and other debts, employs a bare minimum of personnel and lacks adequate financial support. The influence of covid-19 on the hospitality industry and the profile of hospitality companies are vastly different. Negatively, significantly, and strongly linked to the performance of hospitality businesses is the effect of covid-19 on the industry That's why covid-19 is having such a negative impact on the operations and growth of hospitality businesses and the rest of the industry as a whole, and they need help from banks and the government right away. For the next six to nine months, hospitality companies must renegotiate payments and dues with their business partners, and they must pay at least half of their employees' wages until normalcy returns. In addition, the hospitality business should delay major capital investments and reduce operational costs. In order to respond swiftly to market changes, hospitality companies must develop and implement efficient revenue generation and management strategies for pricing their products and services. Moreover, the government The hospitality industry should be given a one-year tax break and further financial aid.
