Ukraine’s hotel operators will need two years to recover from the last six months of corona crisis, Natalia Chystiakova, consulting director for Colliers International (Ukraine), predicts in an interview with Interfax Ukraine. Last summer the average occupancy of Kyiv’s hotels fell to 20%. Four- and five-star hotels were hard hit because of the loss of conference and difficulty of closing and losing trained staff. If strict quarantine and air travel controls return, she predicts, several hotels could close permanently.
