successful and renowned travel agencies and thereby analyzed that the major threat
which is being faced by the companies is because of the negative perspective of the
public resulting due to the misplaced information prevailing in the market because of
the ineffective and faulty media trails. The failure of the implementation of a suitable
media tactic resulted in this facet. The McKinsey & Company, in their analysis, 'The
5

Travel Industry Turned Upside Down', bring out the key strengths the industry
withholds in respect to their fight against the situation of the Covid-19. The segments
which got affected the most and the preventive measures that were adopted by the
relevant companies were properly and carefully examined. The importance of the
non-price factors affecting the performances of the ventures were also critically
studied (Martins, Soebarto and Williamson, 2022).

be achieved through the implementation of the program or the idea that be
validated by the authorities (Rahman and Islam, 2022).
 The execution of the specific plan must be done in accordance to the
requirements of the segment. The factors affecting the situations should be
kept in mind such as the weather conditions, costs and expenditure and the
description provided by the clients, in order to provide them with the best.
 The anticipation of the future contingents for any sought of disruption must be
kept in mind by the BUNI travel to ensure the safety and well being of the
