* impact on arrivals relative to counterfactual
- Assumed 8-month restriction period will reduce European travel by ~37% on top of other economic effects (eg reduced incomes)
- 6-monthduration would bring smaller annual impact.
- Longer duration of any restrictions will have larger impacts on travel
Policy stimulus is providing vital support for economic (& travel) recovery

China recovery lessons
Might be applicable as we look forward to recovery across the rest of the world
- Most closed hotels re-opened in 2 months - but some still closed
- First phase demand drivers have been
- domestic leisure
- corporate business at industrial park area
- quarantined guests stay at hotels close to airport
- Lower scale hotels gained higher occupancy first
- Tangible factors/indicators of hygiene will matter
- Will recovery continue or will it flatten?

What are the factors that can impact the forecast
Let's consider the three demand types of Leisure, Corporate Transient, and Corporate Group
Faster | Demand type | Quicker recovery scenarios | Slower recovery scenarios | ||
• Pent-up demand drives summer rebound | • Virus persists/resurfaces in Autumn/2021 | ||||
Leisure | • | Domestic-led | • | Boarders remain closed/restricted | |
• Travellers who are immune | • Recovery dependant on vaccine available | ||||
speed | |||||
Corporate | • | Sharp economic rebound | • | Prolonged recession | |
Recovery | |||||
transient | • In-person contact always important | • Move to digital changes travel behaviour | |||
Slower | Corporate | • Postponed events happen in Q3/Q4 | • Only after vaccine implementation | ||
group | • 2021 is a year of catch-up | • Cost control supresses recovery | |||

So what's a W shaped recovery
An initial recovery, followed by stagnation/decline until virus cured/controlled then recovery
Source: STR. 2020 © CoStar Realty Information, Inc.
Conclusions
- China seems to be at the end of the beginning of its recovery
- Occupancies near/heading towards half of what they would usually be
- Driven by domestic demand of both leisure (first) then business
- Time will tell if the recovery continues or flattens out
2. Europe's recovery has not yet begun
- Occupancies have bottomed out but hotels still closing
- Some planning of easing lock-downs but still seems some way off for hotels
- Restrictions on travel and hotels likely to remain in place longer… and borders even longer
- Everything will be OK in the end… it's not OK yet… so it's not the end
- Most forecasts are still for a bounce-back… even if there is a drag
- It matters more now than ever to have good hotels with strong brands and management teams
