Mitigation Strategies for Hospitality Businesses Strict Health Protocols: Temperature checks, sanitization, PPE for staff, contact tracing readiness. Bottom line: The biggest damage often comes from perception and fear, not just actual cases.
If it spreads or drags on: Much worse—similar to 2014, with 40–60% drops in occupancy, flight reductions, and event cancellations. Nigeria's hospitality sector (heavily reliant on business travel, oil executives, and regional tourism) is sensitive to such scares.
