The Hotel Association of Canada is warning that the industry is going to be devastated as travel comes to a halt in a bid to slow the spread of COVID-19.

It says the national occupancy average is below 10 per cent and hotels are closing across the country.Hotel owners need access to liquidity and flexibility from financial institutions in order to stay afloat, the association says.

The warning comes as Canada closes its borders in an effort to stem the spread of the novel coronavirus. Ottawa has closed the borders to most travellers from around the world, while those coming from the U.S. will be restricted to essential visitors only.

I have no sympathy for the hotels who have for years charged outrageous fees for their rooms.

Well maybe they should open as temporary hospitals

Hotel Le St. James in Old Montreal closed their doors officially at 12:00 (midnight) on Tuesday! Queen E , Ritz Carlton and many others are now closed until at least end of April !

something good to share in relation to covid19Canada

Hey hotelassoc 👆 You want to know how to survive this? Adapt and do it fast. You need to inspire consumer confidence and make sure you do so everywhere, including your promotional material. Take a cue from these guys:

I feel bad for the industry but even worse for tens of thousand Canadians on the brink. We are all hurting.

No kidding. Thx for the update.

The hotels should instead prepare, perhaps, to convert to hospital care rooms if this pandemic gets as terrible as we see in Italy. Be part of the solution, worry about business when this is over.

Where is captain obvious..? 😬😂😂😂😇

boohoo. people are gonna die. businesses are not people.

EVERY INDUSTRY is warning about the impact of COVID-19. It effects absolutely all of us.
