As the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak hit the United Kingdom, footfall to bars and restaurants declined. Across the hospitality sector on March 20, 2020, there had been a 58 percent decline in footfall in the last seven days compared to the same seven days in 2019. Bars, pubs and restaurants were ordered to close to visitors on March 20.

As of August 2020, about 65 percent of businesses in the accommodation and food service sector in the United Kingdom had experienced a decrease in footfall in the last two weeks due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. For approximately 10.6 percent of businesses in the industry, footfall had increased.

The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is causing the hotel industry across the globe to take a hit. In the United States, this can be seen through a year-over-year decrease in some of the most important key performance indicators in the industry: occupancy, revenue per available room (RevPAR), and average daily rate (ADR). In the week ending December 25, 2021, U.S. hotels had an occupancy of ***** percent, showing a year-over-year decrease of *** percent. Meanwhile, ADR dropped to ****** U.S. dollars, reflecting an increase of *** percent on the previous year. Lastly, a RevPAR of ***** U.S. dollars showed a year-on-year drop of *** percent.

The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is causing a decrease in hotel occupancy rates in the United States. As a result, the hotel sector's contribution to GDP could also see a drop. If occupancy rates were to drop by ** percent in the U.S., this would potentially result in a loss of *** billion U.S. dollars being contributed by the hotel sector to GDP in 2020.

The American Rescue Plan Act established the Restaurant Revitalization Fund (RRF) to provide funding to help restaurants and other eligible businesses keep their doors open. This program provided restaurants with funding equal to their pandemic-related revenue loss up to $10 million per business and no more than $5 million per physical location. Recipients are not required to repay the funding as long as funds are used for eligible uses no later than March 11, 2023. This dataset details New York State recipients of RRF funds.

In 2020, the hotel industry was dramatically hit by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, as several countries had to impose national lockdowns and restrict non-essential travels in order to limit the spread of the outbreak. A survey conducted in ********* focused on the main operational measures adopted by hotels in Italy during the pandemic. Data show that about seven in ten hotels involved in the study focused on new standards and hygiene procedures. Moreover, ** percent of facilities invested in digital marketing, while ** percent preferred to reduce traditional marketing expenditures.

What is the COVID-19 Economic Vulnerability Index?The COVID-19 Vulnerability Index (CVI) is a measurement of the negative impact that the coronavirus (COVID-19) crisis can have on employment based upon a region's mix of industries. For example, accommodation and food services are projected to lose more jobs as a result of the coronavirus (in the neighborhood of 50%) compared with utilities and healthcare (with none or little expected job contraction).This updated dataset contains 116 jobs attributes including the 10 most likely jobs to be impacted for each county, the total employment and employment by sector. An attribute list is included below.An average Vulnerability Index score is 100, representing the average job loss expected in the United States. Higher scores indicate the degree to which job losses may be greater — an index score of 200, for example, means the rate of job loss can be twice as large as the national average. Conversely, an index score of 50 would mean a possible job loss of half the national average. Regions heavily dependent on tourism with relatively high concentrations of leisure and hospitality jobs, for example, are likely to have high index scores. The Vulnerability Index only measures the impact potential related to the mix of industry employment. The index does not take into account variation due to a region’s rate of virus infection, nor does it factor in local government's policies in reaction to the virus. For more detail, please see this description.MethodologyThe index is based on a model of potential job losses due to the COVID-19 outbreak in the United States. Expected employment losses at the subsector level are based upon inputs which include primary research on expert testimony; news reports for key industries such as hotels, restaurants, retail, and transportation; preliminary release of unemployment claims; and the latest job postings data from Chmura's RTI database. The forecast model, based on conditions as of March 23, 2020, assumes employment in industries in each county/region would change at a similar rate as employment in national industries. The projection estimates that the United States could lose 15.0 million jobs due to COVID-19, with over half of the jobs lost in hotels, food services, and entertainment industries.
