HSMAI Post Pandemic Recovery Plans Survey

The objective of the survey is to provide a base for a global commercial-centric hospitality analysis post COVID-19. We focus here on the mid and long-term strategic decisions that hospitality executives are working on in the perspective of next budgeting / business planning period. The analysis per region / commercial area will provide a comprehensive understanding of how hoteliers envision business in the next phase after the crisis… the phase of RECOVERY!
