And while there haven't been layoffs yet, pilots, flight attendants and other airline workers could lose pay as flight schedules are pared back and the planes they would be flying sit on the ground, as even domestic travel is slowing significantly.
"These big shows are lifebloods for the big cities," Schweiterman says, as the convention business often fills local hotels and restaurants."You take that away and there are a lot places that are financially on the edge right now and it's going to create some severe pain."But that pain, to some degree, is unwarranted, says the GBTA's Solombrino, noting that many people are abandoning travel plans unnecessarily.
Nonetheless, the media coverage of the spreading coronavirus both here and abroad has travelers worked up. Levent says she and many of her fellow travel professionals spend a lot of time educating their clients about the coronavirus and the relatively small risk to most travelers.

It’s worth it!!
Carnival Cruises refusing to allow customers to reschedule upcoming trips. Spring break starting in Texas so thousands about to start traveling. Not asking for refund just a different time when things settle down and more info is available.
Who cares. Survival comes before money.
Well, let's be honest: the travel industry makes the pandemics possible ...
People are causing more problems by being afraid then they are actually likely to get sick. Give it a rest. 150 Americans die from the flu everyday.
Wash your hands, stay home if sick, avoid large gatherings, buy some stocks, wait it out.
And how much have they made in baggage fees? Cry me a river...
By one estimate coronavirus-related travel restrictions could end up saving costumers $46,6 billions a month.
Our thought process needs to change. It shouldn’t be about corporate profit if we cared about people first.
We cancelled our Disney trip for Spring Break.
In the USA,16000 have died of influenza so far this season, and in 2019, 36000 died by gunshot, 39000 in car crashes, and 635000 died of heart disease. I’m not canceling my trip to Europe.
It's the mainstream media to blame for the mass hysteria, unnecessary fear-mongering in panic! It's not the coronavirus that will kill us but the globalist agenda that will! COVID19
To little far too L8 assholes!
Don’t worry, they’ll add another bogus fee and in a few months, make billions more than they were before and we’ll have the new fee for eternity.
All on Trump. Firing pandemic response team. Cutting CDC. Shitty, greedy, anti-science chums. THIS IS ON TRUMP.
We would normally be doing trip planning right now but with the dark corona virus cloud hanging over everything, who wants to get on an airplane, stay in a hotel, go to museums, or buy tickets to events that might be cancelled? You'd have no trip & no way to get your money back.
I just postponed a trip to japan, mostly out of concern about getting back home. Because who knows what the hell this administration will do next. Closing the borders wouldn’t surprise me in the least. That’s the big problem I see. No one knows anything.
