CHALLENGES

Deciding which hotel is clean and COVID-19 free is a big decision when deciding where to stay for work during this outbreak. Numerous employers still need their employees to travel for their job, while it may not have to be through airlines, traveling involves the need to stay somewhere for a short period of time.

CHALLENGES

As a current employee in the hospitality industry, I have been forced to stop working due to the coronavirus. I was working to complete my field study at the Inn at Virginia Tech, which I was enjoying so much. Now due to the virus, I am no longer able to work and I am unsure whether I will be able to return to work in the future. (April, 2020)

CONCERNS

My biggest concern about tourism in the future is that people will travel just because they can, without higher motivation, making places overcrowded and creating tourist monoculture in destinations. (May, 2020)
