Akukho shishini lichaphazeleka ngakumbi bubhubhane kunokubuka iindwendwe. Ukuzonwabisa kunye nokwamkela iindwendwe kuphulukene nemisebenzi eyi-3.1 yezigidi ngexesha lobhubhane ekungasayi kubuya, ezimele ngaphezulu kwesithathu sabo bonke abantu abangasebenziyo e-United States, ngokwe-Bureau of Labor Statistics. Okubi nangakumbi kukuba, inqanaba lentswela-ngqesho kwicandelo lendawo yokuhlala lihlala lingama-330% ngaphezulu kwalo lonke uqoqosho.
Iihotele ezingenanto okanye ezivalwe ngokusisigxina nazo ziye zanefuthe elibi kuluntu kwilizwe liphela, lonzakalisa uluhlu olubanzi lwamashishini axhomekeke kubukho beendwendwe zehotele, ezinje ngeeresityu nakwiivenkile, iinkampani ezibonelela ngeehotele kunye nolwakhiwo. Kubantu bonke abalishumi abaqeshwe ngqo kwipropathi yehotele, iihotele zixhasa imisebenzi eyongezelelweyo engama-10 eluntwini, ukusuka kwiivenkile zokuthengisa kunye nokuthengisa kwiinkampani zonikezelo lweehotele nolwakhiwo, ngokophando olwenziwe yiOxford Economics. Ngeehotele kulindeleke ukuba ziphele ngo-26 ukuhla kwemisebenzi engama-2021, ngokusekwe kumyinge wangaphambi kobhubhane, imisebenzi eyongezelelweyo exhaswa yihotele eyi-500,000 yezigidi isengozini kulo nyaka ngaphandle kwenkxaso eyongezelelweyo evela kwiCongress.
Le ntlekele iye yanzima ngakumbi kwiindawo ezisezidolophini, yonzakalisa uluntu oluncinci. Iihotele zasedolophini, ezixhomekeke kushishino nakohambo lwamaqela kwaye kunokwenzeka ukuba zibambe iminyhadala emikhulu, iphele ngoJanuwari yehla ngama-66% kwingeniso yegumbi xa kuthelekiswa nonyaka ophelileyo. Ngokweengxelo zamva nje, kwisiXeko saseNew York isinye kwisithathu samagumbi ehotele — ngaphezulu kwama-42,000 — sitshatyalaliswe ngubhubhane we-COVID-19, phantse ii-200 zeehotele zivala ngokusisigxina esixekweni.
