Experts estimate it might take more than a year for the hospitality industry to recover from the monstrous effects of COVID-19. Many hotel managers are utilising this downtime to deep clean the entire venue and revise projects that are otherwise impossible to do when hotels are full.

More than just offering a simple bed and breakfast, hotel rooms are evolving and being engineered, one amenity at a time, to meet with changing traveller demands.
