The travel and hospitality sector is facing the heat with the deadly Covid-19 spreading not only to Europe and Iran but also to India, with bookings being cancelled or rescheduled at a fast pace.
Operators such as Thomas Cook, SOTC, FCM Travel Solutions, Yatra and MakeMyTrip admitted their businesses have been hit. They are offering the option of deferring trips or availing future travel vouchers, refunds and even alternative destinations to Indian travellers who have booked on the China and South-East Asia route.
Till now predominantly the Asian continent was impacted with travellers cancelling and rescheduling travel. Now rising reports from Italy, Spain, and Switzerland mean that the popular Europe sector will also be impacted. No authority is coming out and declaring if a particular country is safe to travel to and this is adding to the travel fears.
