Think about it, how many workers can you ask to go on unpaid leave ? With no or few customers staying in the hotel , way below the average occupancy rate, the operating costs is way too high for any hotel to bear, be it luxury or budget.
Revenue is key to keep the business afloat. It is not about pricing strategy ,even with 50% discount offer, people were told by their government to stay at home. Why take the risk ?
This is probably the worst time that any hotel operators have faced thus far.....
