COVID-19 Analysis

The worldwide economic crisis along with the downfall in consumer spending post the SARS-CoV-2 outbreak has emerged as a significant challenge for the global travel intermediaries. The massive threat to the lodging and airline bookings has pressured travel companies to shut down their operations and lay off workforces in a space of few months. According to the impact analysis on COVID-19, the short term impact on the online travel industry has been significantly high and can remain in the near future. The long-term impact of COVID-19 can lead to continuous practice of social-distancing in the industry. The same proportions of lodging and airline bookings cannot be expected as before. However, since the prices are expected to rise considerably, there will be a surge in the cash flow as people need to travel. This could give rise to lucrative opportunities for online travel agencies around the globe. These developments are expected to take place in the coming period, even as countries strive to find a covid-19 breakthrough.
