Accommodation Sector in 70 Percent of Asia Pacific Countries on Track for Full Recovery in 2022
Skift Take
With China’s ongoing Covid crackdowns halting its almost-there recovery, the accommodation sectors of other APAC countries are expected to gain market share in 2022.
The Asia-Pacific region's (APAC) lodging industry, in line with the overall industry, registered massive losses as a result of the pandemic.
In 2020 and 2021, fluctuating demand, revenue loss, reduced staff, and rising costs tied to public health measures were among the multiple challenges faced in the accommodation sector in the region. Small businesses suffered most, with many lacking the capital to service fixed running costs. However, accommodation providers adapted their business models by adopting contactless and physically distanced services or function as quarantine facilities. Some developed new businesses, such as food delivery.
Indeed, accommodation sectors in seven of 10 countries have in the region are on pace to hit 2019 levels this year.
