This is just one of the many questions that we have during this pandemic. The answer may be obvious, not until we have a safe vaccine or a concrete solution. The travel industry around the world have been hit so hard even more so for countries that has considered tourism as its key player of income.
For the Philippines, the Hotel Industry has already experienced no less than 70% decrease in revenue. To help with this, a local association of hotel marketers are holding a pivotal event aimed at further jumpstarting the Philippines’ hotel and hospitality industry: the September Online Sale, or S.O.S
