Abstract
Since March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) established a global pandemic
status for 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19). Global pandemic status means that the
disease is throughout the world; the entire world population wherever their country is, can be
potentially be infected. This study aims to examine the recovery measures in star-rated hotels
in Nairobi post-COVID-19 Pandemic.
Description
The purpose of this study is to examine the recovery measures in star-rated hotels in Nairobi
post-COVID-19 Pandemic. I will also examine how the post-COVID-19 era will be for the
tourism and Hospitality industries post-recovery period. There will be an uneven recovery as
some markets will be aligned with early phases of restarting tourism (Hall et al., 2020) In
April 2020, the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) (2020)
estimated that the decline in international tourism in 2020 could be between 45% and 70%,
depending on when recovery begins to take place and warned that the general economic
decline due to the COVID-19 crisis will also delay recovery within the tourism industry
(Jones & Comfort, 2020) .
