The whole travel industry and many more
Mar 13, 2020
are probably having massive issues at the moment. I think people cannot pay their employees right now, let alone the freelancers, so they have to cut back where they can. Je to hrozne, ale dufajme, ze to zase prejde (this is terrible, but let's hope it will pass)!

Tourism is the first one to get hit
Mar 13, 2020
by the Coronavirus.
I know several people working in hotels and some of them told me that their hotel is in fact going to shut down in the following days.
Hotels are of course only the tip of the iceberg, all their vendors, including Booking, marketing agencies, catering, laundry industry etc. will certainly feel the consequences as well.

I'm reproducing what I wrote yesterday in a different thread:
Portugal's tourism industry is already feeling the impact of Covid-19, with 60% of hotels in the Algarve region reporting cancellations.

I am sure nature is confused, too
Mar 14, 2020
To be honest, I was really happy about the fact that there is less pollution over areas most affected by the virus. I do hope that we learn from this and realise, that we don't have to fly around the world to go on holidays, and we don't have to get richer, faster, further. This is not to say I minimise what is going on in the clinics and hospitals around the world at the moment.

Hi Zuzana,
I have also worked for Booking.com and noticed the sudden drop in new projects. Has your workload increased in the meantime?
Kind regards, Marina
