How does the current war affect the hospitality sector?
Recently, a conflict began between Russia and Ukraine, due to the military incursion of Russian troops into the country of Ukraine. This invasion has triggered a series of crises in different sectors worldwide, but how is the hospital sector affected as a result of this war? First, it must be mentioned that this industry had already been going through the ravages of the pandemic and after different sectors reopened their doors to give rise to what we know as "normality", tourism is again threatened by the war between Russia and Ukraine. In a report published in National Geographic, carried out by the journalist, José Alejandro Adamuz, he highlights that Spain is one of the countries the least affected by the war. However, it suffered a 26% decrease in destination searches. Likewise, in Eastern European countries, a stagnation has begun to be noticed in terms of travel consumption.

Among them is the closure of airspace and the rise in fuel prices, a situation that aggravates travelers and businessmen in the sector.

Female entrepreneurship traveling
