Abstract:
This study examines the impact of COVID-19 on the Indian Economy
with reference to travel, tourism and hospitality sector in Uttarakhand.
The outbreak of corona virus in China shook the world due to its adverse
impact on the global economy. The corona virus pandemic is leading a
massive disruption in the economy of the country. Key sectors continue to
be spooked by the outbreak. Supply chain disruptions apart, lack of
demand is affecting sales of mobile phones, electronics and automotives.
India went through elongated country-wide lockdown to combat the
pandemic by restricting movement of its people. These lockdown directly
affected the travel industry like aviation, rail and road transport. This
further adversely affected the hospitality sector. From big hotel to small
businesses like restaurants, SPAs, beauty parlors and street food vendors
have been shattered by the double blow of the pandemic and the lockdown.
This research paper highlights the measures taken by the Government of
India to tackle the set-back on travel, tourism and hospitality sector.
