This session will discuss the profound and wide-ranging impact of the global coronavirus pandemic on the Middle East’s hotel sector, from closures, redundancies and new consolidated business models to regional nuances in performance, the pipeline and new developments. What will the hotel landscape look like when travel resumes and what will be considered new ‘norms’ in terms of guest behaviours and expectations?
