Explanation of impacts of COVID-19 on hospitality, travel as well as leisure sector.
In order to carry out reflection practice it has been identified that due to COVID-19 it has
created a large impact on hospitality, travel as well as leisure sector which are affecting their
business practices on high basis. I identified that effects of COVID-19 has spread across global
world as well as it has also impacted on hospitality as well as travel sector. It has evaluated by
me that because of this pandemic disease it has impacted sales along with revenues of hotel
sector (Dias, Gouveia Rodrigues and Ferreira, 2021). It has created a wide impact on hotel sector
in terms of their earning. I understood that hospitality sector, travel along with tourism industry
is highly impacted due to COVID-19. I analysed that impact of COVID on these sector are
explained as follows:
1

It has become crucial for operational unit of hospitality sector to manage their payment
modes.
I determined that there is extended cash flow forecast that is being performed in some
number of months for performing their operations in an effective way.
Along with I examined that because of COVID-19 disease it has minimized their all
discretionary operational as well as capital expenses. As they have reconsidered their
maintenance as well as capital expenses where it is possible to save money in travel and tourism
industry.
Hotel sector could be able to assess equity as well as debt kinds of funding sources if
their needs is being assessed. Along with I evaluated that there are some of alternative lenders
that could move quickly for providing short term funding (EFRATA, RADIANTO and
EFFENDY, 2021). As it could enlarge their large impact as well as number of amounts of
interests with their fee structure.
Along with I also determined that because of safety concerns sales ratios of customers
have been reduced and economic concerns has risen which has leaded to slow down of economy.
Description of use of formative feedback for informing as well as enhancing summative
assessed working.
Universities for higher education carries most visible assessment which are generally
summative as well as tutors are using formative assessments method as well as various tools
which are prepared in an effective way for fulfilling up a good learning of individual for meeting
their requirements. Formative assessment generally defines to a method that could identify
misconceptions and learning differences. It consists of different ways effective techniques that is
required for shaping learning along with bolster learners (Porter and Byrd, 2021). Teachers are
generally implementing differentiation as well as adoption way of teaching for increasing level
of learning as well as achievement of learner. So that they could be capable to achieve higher
equity of outcomes. As major goal of formative assessment is to ensure learning for giving
ongoing feedback that could be used by teachers for improving their teaching. It generally helps
learners to identify their strengths as well as addressing issues immediately. These assessment
are generally on low stakes which states that it carries low or no point value.
Formative assessment are basically contrasted by summative assessment which are used
for evaluating learning ways as well as accomplishment of a proper as well as correct

conclusion of a specific instructional period. In accordance with summative assessment they are
deliberately set apart from different instruction along with they are integrated into teaching with
learning ways (Cable, Cathcart and Almond, 2021). Formative assessment benefits tutors in
identifying learning needs as well as challenges in various conditions. It helps individuals for
developing a large understanding of its own academic strengths and weaknesses. It outcomes in
generating development as when individuals know what they wants it could be carried in a well
manner. It could be help in taking up as a large opportunity over learning as well as academic
method.
Determination of cultural as well as behavioural expectation of studying for a degree in
business as well as management.
It has been determined that there are some of behavioural as well as cultural expectations
that are performed by learner for carrying up degree in business and management (Donahue,
2021). For pursuing degree in business and management there are some of reasons that could
lead learner to begin with their effectiveness. There are few of behavioural and cultural
expectation which are to be carried by individual in order to study a degree in area of business
and management. As some of cultural as well as behavioural expectation of learner for carrying a
degree in professional field are as follows:
Employability: It is determined to be a behavioural expectation of learner for carrying out
management and business degree (Zaring, Gifford and McKelvey, 2021). They carry out
expectation that for having a learning in business and management they are provided with good
employability which could enhance their career growth. This expectation is performed having
employability for generating learner's effective career in order to have a social profile.
Enhanced working culture: This component is performed under cultural expectation of
individual for performing course degree in business management. They expected to be provided
with efficient working culture so that they could be able to concentrate on their working
practices without having disturbance (Lakhal and Khechine, 2021). This expectation should lead
in giving effective working surrounding for carrying studies.
Learning of management skills: It is said to be another expectation that could be
generated by learner for having management skills so that they could enhance their learning on
various bases for carrying out knowledge and understanding through various concepts which are
associated to business management and other factors (Colombari and Neirotti, 2021).

Understanding of relevance of peer to peer contribution as well as team working for
improving learning experiences.
As learners could learn a great experience by carrying out explanation of their ideas to
other learners as well as participating in various activities where they could learn by interacting
with their peers (Marginson and Yang, 2021). It generally helps in development of skills in
relation to organising as well as planning for learning working practices as well as providing
them feedback for analysing their own learning. As peer to peer learning is an educational
strategy through could encompass with a wide sweep of activities along with it could enhance
their learning of individual by participating in various practices in a team. As in order to carry
success in higher education it becomes important for learners to perform peer learning and team
working for carrying various courses which could improvise their learning experience.
As by having a formalised learning it could help individual in carrying learning practices
effectively. In accordance to business and management at that time universities resources are
mostly stretched as well as demand which could be performed upon staff that are increasing as
well as it could offer learner's an opportunity for learning from their peer individuals (Guzmán,
Cifuentes Gomez and Santelices, 2021). As it helps in giving effective learning by taking into
consideration with more working practices than traditional teaching.
