Business Insider reports that the hotel industry will likely not rebound until 2023 or 2024. Hotels bank on receiving half of their revenue from corporate travel. The hotel industry brings in $170 billion annually. The lack of business travel due to the coronavirus pandemic could cost hotels between $8 billion and $23 billion this year.
