Due to the outbreak of coronavirus in Poland in March 2020, hotels must fight for survival. More than 80 percent of hotels plan to obtain funding to support their employees. At the same time, more than half of them have applied for tax deferrals. Over 70 percent of hotels issued vouchers to avoid reimbursement of advance payments. Nevertheless, as much as nearly 80 percent of hotels had to be closed down during the epidemic. Eighty-six percent had to cancel their bookings and return the advance payment, as well as send staff members on overdue and current holidays.
