MAIN BODY
ESSAY
Reflective analysis of impacts of Covid-19 in Hospitality, travel and leisure
From the help of my experience as a student, I can say that Covid-19 has been very
disastrous for the hospitality organization. Hospitality sector consists of business in which the
there are hotel and resorts which are generally used by the tourists. Due to the lock-downs which
were applied due to the pandemic, many businesses got affected. I read about many hotels firing
their employees due to the lack of revenue which they could use to pay of their salaries. Very
similar to that as people like us were not able to travel anywhere the travel industry was also
struggling a lot. A good deal of hospitality organization during the pandemic were used as Covid
centres some did their social responsibility. The travel industry was not able to generate any

income during the pandemic. As per my consideration it was believed by me that the
organization (Pillai and et.al., 2021).
The leisure industry which are businesses such as entertainment, sports and tourism all of
these were effected some way or the other. The entertainment industry out of all the other
industry was the one which was considered to be a little viable even in the pandemic due to the
influence of the online platforms. I saw a major increase in the utilization of online platform
during and after the pandemic. It can be said that the tourism industry was one of the most
affected industry as all the international borders where seal which stopped the inflow and
outflow of the tourists. However, all of these industries after the major affect of the pandemic
were seen to grow a lot. Hospitality industry started its operations just after the travelling
industry started to grow. I also noticed that the even the sports industry was increasing very
handsomely and due to this which there were growth in all the industries. The impact created by
this pandemic got reversed. Many big sporting events started taking place. In my knowledge
these industries were a lot responsible for bringing the economy out of recession (Gabe and
Florida, 2021).
Utilization of formative feedback for improvements in summative assessments
A feedback is an essential part of the learning process despite the subject matter.
Feedback is something which helps in the improvement of the performance of the learners. A
formative feedback is the one in which the course of assessment is not present or provided after
the completion of the grade or marks. Summative assessment is the part in which the
performance of the student is analysed with the help of test which provide grades and marks. The
formative feedback which consists of activities of under grading the students to motivate them to
improve their practices. Formative feedback is generally utilized for providing the learners
opportunities for improving their performance. This helps undergraduates improve their work
working hard and increase their performance in the summative assessment later. Grades are
considered to be the most important achievement for a learner (Ismail and Mohammad, 2017).
Formative feedback is also known to provide the student's confidence before going
through to the final exams. In the summative assessment marking is done for everything in which
they have improved. This formative feedback is known to be very useful the ones which provide
lectures to the students. This allows them to take control over their learning. In the summative
assessment were the right or wrong is important, how to get to the decision for right or wrong is
