Answer 1

Dear Sir,

I recently attended the Canadian Hotel Investment Conference, 2020. Please find below a few key takeaways from the conference:

· The Hotel Association of Canada (HAC) and the American Hotel and Lodging Association have jointly released safety protocols as the hospitality industry opens up. These measures pertain to frequent disinfecting of door handles, light switches, remote controls, taps and faucets; removing and replacing bedding, pillows, etc., equipping the hotel staff with PPE (personal protective equipment) kit.

· There is going to be an increased focus on preventive measures. Increased sanitation standards are expected to be implemented by the industry to alleviate the threat of virus.

· The major revenue stream of several Canadian hotel is conferences, trade shows, weddings, receptions and business conferences which has dried up to indefinite time. Hence, hotels that derive major revenues from arranging and hosting such events will have to engage in rebranding themselves to become more vacation homes and family-friendly.
