Impact of COVID-19 on the Market
Same as other sectors, the travel sector also got damaged at a great extent. Every business related to travel and tourism had to be shut down because of the rules and regulations imposed by lockdown. The managed distribution market majorly includes travellers from the corporate sector which was also impacted severely due to the pandemic. This caused a fall in the economic status of the corporate sector too. Plans for the beginning of 2022 were hampered by the omicron version, but the second quarter is expected to witness a strong increase, putting trip spending above one-third of 2019 levels. All throughout the year, steady increases in transient corporate travel and event-driven travel are anticipated. Although there should be fewer obstacles to international travel, in 2022 there will be less cross-border excursions due to uncertainties about rules and worries about getting lost abroad.
