The American Hotel and Lodging Association (AHLA) released a research disclosing alarming new data pointing to a downfall in the sector. Right now, 68 percent of hotels have less than half of their normal staff working full time, and more than two-thirds of hotels revealed they would not be able to last six more months at the current projected revenue and occupancy levels, while half of the hospitality owners surveyed affirmed they are in risk of foreclosure. Additionally, 74 percent of hotels said they would be forced to lay off more employees if they don’t receive further government assistance.
