Its a tough time. Tough for both business and employees. Business will bounce back in due course of time but the most important Asset employees need to be kept on high morale. This is the time to update and upgrade the working skills. Sanitize and upkeep the Hotel.

At this point, you need to shift focus from Sales & Marketing, to asking: 

What can I do, as an institute, for (a) my family of employees & (b) my community?? 

You do what you can for both & hope, when this all done, your employees will come out of it more loyal than ever & you will have a community that -as a business, you can relay on for the years to come. 

In business terms: forget about Sales & Marketing for now, focus instead on PR!

You will need to play on two tactics 1) content creation full with safety hygiene supportive staff and 2) pricing which needs to go as low as never before . Try something drastic a stopper like get a room and have the second for free ,.. or pay give nights and the sixth and seventh free new message borrowed from fmcg good luck

First thing is to attract people towards hotel . Lower the prices , increase prices of indirect commodities to cover it up, make small videos of how hotel has managed to keep its clients hygienically safe from covid 19 and any other epidemic so that customers can gain trust in your management and for what they are paying . Play these short videos on reception and social media

Post COVID anxiety will still linger on the safety of hotel rooms, hotel management should let the public know the measure they've put in place to make hotel rooms safe. Hotel management should send out campaigns targetted at winning the confidence of public including discounts

You can archieve this by bringing down the hotel price to a level that visitors can afford. With different competitions across the states, you can choose to give a unique services at cheaper rate then try and mark a marketing strategies through digital advertising. Eg Facebook, twitter or any form of online advertisement that people can easily reach out to.
