Abstract
The days of sold-out nights, busy lobbies, and bustling ballrooms started to slowly dwindle. We thought we would be okay and be able to get through this. Then one day, we showed up to work and it felt like everything had changed, in just 24 hours. Occupancy started to drastically drop to a record low of 5-15%, events were canceled or postponed until the Fall or 2021, and the front desk agents were excited when there were people in the lobby. This was just the beginning of how hotels would see the effects of COVID-19. Our alumni share how they have come to terms with the pandemic and share recommendations on how to keep busy while at home, along with their hope for the future of the hospitality industry.
