A LIFE-THREATENING PANDEMIC
A life-threatening pandemic is upon us, and it is showing no signs of slowing the economic upheaval. Depending on the country’s COVID-19 response, several nations have been successful in curbing the spread of the virus, while others are struggling to keep the number of cases down. Regardless of how dire or good each country is responding to the ravages of this disease, hotels are beginning to open their doors again, and airlines are gradually plowing the skies.
Both sectors are raring to reclaim their share of the global revenue pie. While some may argue that extending nationwide lockdowns is crucial until a vaccine is discovered, the travel landscape seems to refuse to be bogged down by uncertainty. And with reinvigorated security and health measures in place, hotels and airlines are keeping their head above water as they resiliently adjust in this new reality.

“What really bothered me was the fact that my details are already online, yet I was still doing manual data entry repeatedly,” the Myanmar native shares. “I come from a data-building warehouse systems background, so I knew there was a better way to do this menial task.”
