Affects of COVID 19 on Hospitality, Travel and Leisure
There is huge impact of COVID-19 which also have the certain consideration and people
are not able tow work and leading to reduce the overall economic growth and the corporate
profits as well. There are various challenges which present in the hospitality, travel and leisure
industry(Bay and McGoun, 2018). They are facing the huge looses which is majorly impacting
the overall profitability of the industry. In these phase, most of the hotels get shut due to strict
restriction given by the guest in order to control the huge impact of COVID-19. There are
certain rules and regulation which is being imposed by the government so that they can ensures
controlling measures to the disease which is being followed by the people. Hospitality industry is
completed shut down by the government for long term period and people are not allowed to go
out have safe stay or dinning there. The government of each nation have control the impact of
COVID-19 in different ways some have imposed the complete lock down and some of them put
the travel restrictions, economic relief. This implied to face huge loose for the industry and they
also not influenced the overall profitability of the hospitality sector. They are in the adverse
situation and the main reason of spreading of this disease is travelling and socialising.
Hospitality sector, travel and tourism are the major industry which is being impacted due to
pandemic and leads to face cancellation of tours, reservations of hotel, flights and leads to reduce
the minimise the overall occupancy rate in hotel, inbound travel and reduction in basic room rate
which completely effects the overall profitability of the industries. This implies in the substantial
revenue loss, wages, utilities and compensation of the employees and other expenses and
statutory payments. This is most effected sector as this is not remaining in the major
consideration in the market which is also leading to have better approach in the market. The

certain challenegs which is being faced by the firms is hospitality, travel and leisure industries
and they have faced the issues which is related to the re-opening issues, fixed & variable
expenses, minimum occupancy, renewed lock down, elasticity, technology , wellness and health.
They are further managing with problems so that they can overcome these asepcts and it is
significant to find the certain ways to analyse these challenges by which the business venture can
be helpful.
Use of Formative Feedback to inform & improve summative assessment work
It is the tool which helps in ongoing and several feedbacks in order to teacher which also
enhance the overall learning of the students. In this context, the lecturer provides the certain
approaches which is leading to give the proper feedback with the aim of ensuring that they are
developing their skills and knowledge(Badu and Appiah, 2018). This is also leading to analyse
the overall performance of the students so that the skill and the development of the student can
be known y the teacher and also get to know the certain ways by which they can enhance their
overall learning. The access of formative feedback is that it leads to analysis the performance of
he level of the students & also analysing their learning capabilities. Feedbacks allows students in
order to monitor and analyse their own growth by which they can minimise the overall
uncertainty and correct their concepts. This also implies in improving the motivational level of
the learners so that they can analyse the strength and weakness during their classroom learning.
This can be rightly improved by having monitoring on the performance of the students and leads
to know the measures which can be taken in order to correct them with the use of appropriate
strategy.
Cultural and Behavioural Expectations of studying for a degree in business
and management
It is the behavioural and the cultural expectation of studying for he particular degree in
the business and the management plays significant role as the individual who can influence their
studying capabilities. Culture is defined as the concept which is related to the explore of the
identify the business and management. It is also vital for the business to analyse the behaviour
and beliefs so that they can derived the knowledge and also lower down the core values of the
venture which must be followed by each employees. As per my prospective, behavioural and
cultural exception of having effective study for the certain degree in the business and

management must be in a positive manner and also I can be to improve my skills and
knowledge which given the better outcome in garbing new things and productive outcome.
While learning or studying the particular degree in University level, It is vital for to have the
healthy and friendly environment which helps me to share the knowledge and can easily ask for
the doubts related to the subjects. The cultural aspects in relation to the university are academic
environment, academic outlook and certain spirits and their ethics, these such elements helps in
enhancing the moral and the values of the student to have new learning and well performance.
The cultural campus must ensure the socialising by which students can learn the new things an
communicate in an effective manner without any hesitation.
Importance of Peer to peer Support and team working to increase learning
experience
In colleges and university peer to peer support is significant so that they can improve the
overall learning and abilities to share their knowledge. Peer-to-peer support is necessary when
the student is having their own experience in order to give guidance to their peer. This includes
the giving ad taking of the support in terms of emotional and social interactions. It also implied
that peer-to-peer support helps in enhancing the learning experience which is also giving
assistance in order to get the long teem recovery. It is helps in enhancing the well being of the
workers and create support to enhance the confidence and social skills., with this, peer supported
learner who can learn from the people and build healthy relations with the other learners and
certain facilities. Moreover, team working also plays significant role in learning experience as
the workload is shared in the team an specialised person can complete the given task by which
the student can feel less burden and have greater sense of achievement during the completing of
the project.
