HARNESSING HOTELS AS HOSPITALS? POSSIBLE, IF THE TWO FORGE CLOSE SYNERGIES
Hotelier India|July 2020
The world is facing a pandemic that most of us have not experienced in our lifetimes. It is on its knees and struggling.
HARNESSING HOTELS AS HOSPITALS? POSSIBLE, IF THE TWO FORGE CLOSE SYNERGIES

In these times of crisis, the nation and the community comes first. We are all for any solution that aims to alleviate the dire situation we are in.

To that extent, we fully support the move of harnessing hotel infrastructure for the much-wanted support and assist with the crumbling health infrastructure due to an unimaginable, unprecedented need.

Keeping this ethos in mind, I have to state it is not a magic wand solution. Hotels can’t become hospitals overnight. A concentrated thought process needs to be put in. A senior, competent two-man team needs to sit together and prepare for this transformation—one from each side—who can plan and execute everything necessary.

It’s not an ideal situation for either side. We need to hold hands and cross the hurdle together.
