arrivals and international tourism receipts will go down to 3.9 million and PHP279. The
Philippines lost around PHP 400 billion in tourism revenue in 2020 due to the sudden fall
in tourist arrivals amid the COVID-19 pandemic. In the Philippines, the government
closed the airports in Luzon on March 20, as part of the Enhanced Community
Quarantine (ECQ) that started on the island on March 16. The tourism sector has already
felt the negative impact of the pandemic on its performance much earlier. The hospitality
industry is a broad category of fields within the service industry that includes lodging,
food and drink service, event planning, theme parks, and transportation. It includes
hotels, restaurants, and bars. The role of the hotel industry stems from a long history and

Setting of the Study

The study was conducted at Arellano University Andres Bonifacio Campus located at 239
Pag-asa St. Pasig City. The city wherein the study is conducted is known as “the green
city” for its environment-friendly initiatives led by its local government, Pasig was
recognized as one of the most live able cities in the world in 2013. Its walkable streets
and nature parks made it an ideal environment for many young families. It is also in the
newly created Province of Rizal. It became the Provincial Capital of Rizal until 1975 when
the Metro Manila Commission was created under Presidential Decree No. 824. Pasig is
one of the oldest towns in the Philippines having been founded in 1572 by early Spanish
settlers. June 11, 1901 - Pasig became part of the newly created Province of Rizal
through the Philippine Commission Act No. 137 and became capital until 1975.

Theoretical Framework

The service sector is hard hit by the Covid-19 pandemic, particularly the hospitality
industry, based on the accommodation and food beverages segments . One way to
control the Covid-19 was the lockdown, which was the main reason for the cancellation of
economic activities. The hospitality industry was also affected by it as national and
international flights were, halted and there was no tourism, business trips, meetings, and
no flight crew staying at the airport hotels. Furthermore, hotel operations such as
restaurants, conferences, seminars, and banquets were also restricted, severely
affecting economic and financial performance. However, earlier to this pandemic, the
hospitality industry was growing and flourishing in Pakistan. Its contribution to GDP was
3% and from 2012 to 2014, the industry’s growth rate was observed as 7%, which was
increasing year by year. Due to this worst-case scenario, the hospitality industry had lost
approximately $253.7 million and just $0.64 in february. It was also reported that 90% of
hotel bookings were cancelled in this period, which adversely affected their profitability
and created chaos among the employees regarding their future employability.
