'It has been devastating': Annual report shows tourism took big hit in 2020


 
LETHBRIDGE, ALTA. --
The past year was an unprecedented time for travel with the COVID-19 pandemic bringing widespread business closures and travel restrictions.
It also had a previously unimagined impact on the tourism sector.
Tourism Lethbridge released their annual report on May 6 which confirmed it was a tough year for tourism in the city.
Hotels and lodgings across Lethbridge took one of the largest hits due to a major decrease in travel.
"It has been devastating," said Shilpa Stocker, the Lethbridge Lodging Association's project manager.
"Obviously, as with other businesses, the impact has been significant. Our occupancy, I would say, has dropped on average about 60 per cent, and so when occupancy drops by 60 per cent it puts a downward pressure on rates."
