Despite covid-19, hospitality industry remains optimistic

A survey carried out by the accountancy firm haysmacintyre shows how the hospitality sector remains optimist for the future despite the covid-19 economic impact on the industry.

 

The survey was conducted upon more than 140 operators with 83% of the hotel industry feeling confident, followed closely by restaurant at 53%. Most participants (69%) also believe business will go back to pre-pandemic level by the end of the year or at latest by mid-2022.

 

The survey’s main results are as follows:

–  75% of respondents plans to continue offering delivery and takeaway services even after the pandemic is over

–  78% of businesses will continue focusing on online sales (including DIY meal kits)

–  New technologies – such as ordering and payment apps mostly implemented during the pandemic to promote social distancing – are to stay for 95% of participants
