According to an HVS report, the overall revenue of the Indian hotel sector is set to decline by anywhere between $8.85 billion and $10 billion this year, reflecting an erosion of 39-45 per cent compared to the previous year. The report also shows that besides actual business loss, hotel owners will also incur losses due to fixed operating expenses, debt repayments, interest payments and several other compliances required to be undertaken. It is important to note that the magnitude of the impact can change drastically if the outbreak is not contained immediately. In such an event, these scenarios will turn invalid.
