What can you do with the building that houses a failed hotel, a school or a hospital? Some hoteliers had the foresight to build hotels with apartments for long-stay. This has helped them ride through these hard times. This flexibility has saved some hoteliers lots of grief.

Covid-19 has wreaked havoc on many economies across the world. It has also disrupted global and domestic supply chains of essential products. And despite the many problems caused by the pandemic, it has also brought with it great opportunities.
