COVID-19 pandemic --- Very True Emily, the COVID-19 has altered our way of life dramatically. Our social interactions, our professional dynamics, and our digital relationships are all transformed. The Travel & Tourism sector has certainly not been immune to that transition. Indeed, the Travel & Tourism sector has already been tremendously impacted. Seemingly overnight, hundreds of countries suspended flights or halted international travel. Even domestically, national and sub-national jurisdictions instituted shelter-in place orders. Many businesses were forced to close on a temporary basis, often escalating into permanent closures, unfortunately. While businesses that remained open, only saw limited activity. This all transpired such that at the peak of the crisis, a shocking one million Travel & Tourism jobs were lost daily.
