During the pandemic, a huge fall in the international tourists was recorded. According to the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), there was a 73% fall recorded in the international tourist arrivals in 2020. Moreover, the travel accommodation industry was also significantly harmed. Internal business travel and lodging consists of trips between offices within a company, food, trade shows, and conventions. Most of the business enterprises started using online video conferencing platforms that helped in conducting meetings and conferences at a minimal cost, which is reducing the bookings for business travel as well as general travel accommodation worldwide. Moreover, some companies are perceiving business travel as an unnecessary cost and increasing the adoption of ICT and online platforms for conducting meetings as a cost-control measure. Therefore, the loss to the business travel lodging industry may not be fully recovered even in the post-COVID period, due to rise in penetration of ICT technologies.
