The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is causing a decrease in hotel occupancy rates in the United States. As a result, the predicted number of room nights guests would be staying in hotels is also reducing. If occupancy rates were to drop by 50 percent in the U.S., this would result in a loss of 950 million room nights for the hotel industry in 2020.
