A HOTEL INDUSTRY professionals group is advocating for improved local government health management as bigger hotels run larger overhead with limited operations during the lockdown.
Christine Ann Ibarreta, president of the Hotel Sales and Marketing Association, in phone interviews said that smaller hotels, including some of those run as quarantine facilities for Filipinos returning from abroad, have been able to âsurvive.â
