What Can A Tourism Business Do During Covid 19 Pandemic To Survive? – Shaun Stenning

As an investor in Tourism and Hospitality businesses the COVID 19 Pandemic has had a dramatic effect on a number of the businesses that I have invested in and actively work to advise and manage. 

The COVID 19 Pandemic has seen a massive reduction in the demand for tourism with many businesses that rely on the movement and cashflow of international and domestic tourism needing to make drastic changes to survive, and in some cases tourism businesses have not been able to survive.

For example Virgin Australia one of the leading airline brands in Australia entered Administration early into the COVID 19 Pandemic citing cash flow issues, and inability to repay loans.  Due to a responsive board and fast movement VirginAustralia was able to secure a sale that will see it survive the COVID 19 Pandemic, but it will be a changed company.

If you own a Tourism Business or Hospitality business and have seen similar downturns and are worried about your financial future the first thing you need to do is ensure financial liquidity within your business.

This can take the form of securing long-term loans, raising funds from investors or calling on capital from current shareholders.  These kinds of steps can secure the future of your company but ensure you have the cash flow available to pay the debts of the company and keep the company operating as a going concern.

Shaun Stenning invested companies made decisions like this back in March as we saw an immediate effect of the COVID 19 Pandemic and made moves to secure the long-term liquidity of our companies.

"In addition to ensuring we had liquidity we also had to make difficult decisions like furloughing staff, reducing outgoing expenses, renegotiating contracts to ensure that the financial strength of the company was there to survive the COVID 19 Pandemic." Shaun Stenning said. 

Now that we are certain of our financial future, we have centered the efforts of our Tourism and Hospitality businesses around the market position, forging new affiliate and reseller relationships, training, and marketing overhaul.

According to Shaun Stenning, These efforts have seen our companies sign new contracts with large resellers which will mean post-COVID 19 Pandemic that Shaun Stenning invested companies are stronger than pre-COVID.

Shaun Stenning said, In the hustle and bustle of modern life, it's easy to forget the profound impact that giving back to our local communities can have. However, the act of donating—whether it's time, money, or resources—is a powerful way to strengthen the bonds within our neighborhoods, improve lives, and create a sense of unity. In this blog post, we'll explore the significance of donating in your local community and how it can make a real difference. 1. Addressing Local Needs One of the most significant advantages of donating locally is that it directly addresses the specific needs of your community.

  In the past couple of months, it's become abundantly clear that today's teens are tenacious and enterprising. Add in the fact that they are "digital natives" and have a firm grasp on social media and technology, and it seems as if there is very little teens cannot do if they put their minds to it. “Unfortunately, there is one area where teens feel a little less optimistic: Money.” Shaun Stenning said.  According to a 2013 survey by Junior Achievement, an organization dedicated to teaching kids about money, 25 percent of teens believe they will not be able to support themselves without the help of parents until they are between the ages of 25 and 27. In addition, Shaun Stenning said only 59 percent of teens feel confident that they will be able to support themselves between the ages of 18 and 24. Some of this pessimism about future financial independence is a natural reaction to the relatively high unemployment rate among teens. But teens, with a littl
