In 2022 the critical issue for hospitality businesses will be the speed and extent of recovery.
The summers of 2020 and 2021 provided an excellent boost for the hospitality sector. The rise in staycations brought on by international travel restrictions meant increased demand from the holidaymakers who were confident and keen on travelling. So, recovery in the sector looks better than first expected. And whilst it’s not set to be entirely back to pre-pandemic levels until 2023, the outlook for 2022 is positive as customer confidence increases and restrictions ease. But the critical issue for hospitality businesses will be the speed and extent of recovery.
