Planning for the future

Travel brands can also take this time to think about their next steps.

It could be the ideal time for properties to work on renovations or expansion without interrupting guests’ stays. Queenstown Views Villas is proceeding with construction of its new six-star all-suite boutique hotel during the lockdown period, meaning it will be ready to welcome travellers when the restrictions are lifted. Operators can also take the opportunity to fine tune their offering and develop a plan that equips them and their clients for the post-COVID world.
