The hotel industry has faced a big shake up since the outbreak of Covid-19. Nearly overnight, most hotels went from “no vacancy” to “high vacancy”. Repeated opening and closing of borders, sudden lockdowns, new Covid variations has forced us to reimagine our offerings as we try to generate cash flow. So what can we learn from the steps that some of the best and largest hotels in NZ have taken to survive? How have hotels coped during this time? We look at how COVID-19 has impacted the hotel industry and how you can position yourself in 2022 to survive, revive and thrive even in what has been for most a difficult 2 years.
