The "Impact of COVID-19 on the Global Lodging industry: Hot Topic Brief - Issue 1" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

COVID-19, commonly referred to as the Coronavirus, is dominating headlines the world over. The travel & tourism sector is suffering significant disruption and the lodging industry is very much impacted.

This report provides insight into the current state of play, offers a look at potential future scenarios, and assesses the actions that lodging operators can take to mitigate the impact of COVID-19.

Key Highlights

• Major players in the lodging industry are using their respective loyalty schemes in order to create value for their customer base and increase demand during the COVID-19 pandemic, instead of advertising future room rates at discounted prices. This is a smart strategy, as it means they do not have to give up pricing power.
• Frequent travelers act as the backbone of any major lodging company's customer base. This customer type has now had to desert the travel companies that they are usually so loyal towards.
• To avoid losing pricing power and risk lengthening the post-COVID-19 recovery period, some hotel brands are granting bonus nights to loyal customers.
