Activity No. 1
“Effects of COVID-19 in the Lodging Industry”

This pandemic is one of the most challenges that are facing the whole
world. It affects many people, especially the one who are working or the one
who is earning money for their family. One of the most affected job is the one
who is working in the lodging industry. Lodging is a place where you can stay in
a short term or a long period of time. It depends on the people who are staying
at the place. But the question here is what is the effect of this pandemic in the
lodging industry. Is it good or bad for the people who are related to this
industry.

The effect of Covid-19 in the lodging industry in the Philippines has a

negative impact for those who are working in this industry. Many people lost
their jobs for a meantime, some people don’t know where to stay because of no
one can accommodate them, the owner of the hotel or building don’t have
income, and many more. Because of the lockdown in the Philippines, no one
tried to go on a vacation and have fun. No one tried to book a hotel for a place
to stay. No one is travelling to do a business because of the travel ban. And this
is the reason why some of the hotels are not open.

Covid-19 ruin the people’s lives by getting their job and having an income.
Many people living their lives for their family. They work hard to feed their
family. The effect of covid 19 in the lodging industry in the future are the hotels
needs to make sure that their hotels are safe and sanitize properly so that no
one can infect others because we can’t sure when this disease or pandemic are
no longer exist in the world. They need to make sure that they dispose the
things that are needed to dispose like trash and they clean properly the rooms
that used by the other customers or visitors. Better be ready in this pandemic so
we will not regret for not being prepared and no one life will sacrifice on this
disease.
