Average employment per hotel and motel with restaurant in Italy 2020, by month

The average number of employees per hotel and motel with a restaurant in Italy decreased significantly in April 2020 over the previous month due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. In April and May, while the country adopted a national lockdown to curb the rise in COVID-19 infections, hotels and motels with a restaurant recorded on average less than six employees per company. While this figure increased during the summer, it went down again in the last months of 2020, as the country adopted new emergency restrictions due to the health crisis.
