Welcome to post-lockdown hotel: Stair climbs, masks and no bars


The hospitality industry has been particularly hard hit by the pandemic, and the travel and tourism sector could see as many as 100 million jobs lost to the virus, according to the World Travel & Tourism Council.

NEW YORK: When the lockdown finally ends and global travel resumes, expect a night at hotel to feel rather different.

Walks up stairwells, face masks, breakfast in rooms and no gym or gin and tonics at the bar. Welcome to life after lockdown, according to Pat McCann, chief executive officer at Dalata Hotel Group Plc, which runs 44 hotels across Ireland and the UK.
