The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is causing a decrease in hotel occupancy rates in the United States. As a result, the predicted business sales of the hotel sector could also see a drop. If occupancy rates were to drop by 50 percent in the U.S., this would potentially result in a loss of 925 billion U.S. dollars in business sales in 2020.
