Coronavirus or Covid-19 has really impacted the world both in respect of health & economically. No one has been spared by the effects of this deadly virus. But the Industry most severely impacted by this pandemic is the Hospitality & Travel Industry. All major countries have provided some monetory relief to this huge Industry employing more than 20 million people both directly & indirectly. The Indian Government, now post the second wave is charting out a relief for this Industry to bring relief and ascertain recovery mechanisms post the pandemic.
But for this Industry to make its revival, even though Industry leaders, professionals & governments are doing everything under there banner to make sure they survive and in due time revival takes place but the only real thing which can ensure survival for the Industry are its end customers.
Customer of Hospitality & Travel Industry which is basically everyone, need to make sure they book Hotels & Airlines directly rather then booking them through online intermediatries. Because these intermendiatries charge high commissions and do monopolostic activities. We need to Book Direct & save this Industry which makes are lives simpler & happier. The Airlines tickets prices are subject to increase post the second wave of coronavirus as petrol prices are high.
However Hotels are offering huge discounts to there customers to come back and start staying with them. Hotels recovery is harder and will no doubt be longer so book direct and save millions of jobs, and let our livelihood be safe.
