Experts say we must "flatten the curve" to slow the spread of coronavirus. Florida is just starting that process, but so far the curve is growing. The state is now tracking more than 300 known cases and eight deaths, according to health officials.The chart above shows how many cases state health officials have reported each calendar day.State officials also said that coronavirus is suspected or confirmed in 19 long-term care facilities in Florida, potentially exposing hundreds of the state’s most vulnerable people to the virus. And here's the kicker: they're refusing to identify the facilities, citing privacy concerns

US Travel Main stats
2/3 of people are concerned about the impact on their personal finances
Only 58.5% think the situation is going to get worse next month
It is split 50/50 if the current situation has affected a person’s travel plans
Of the people that had effected plans half canceled and the other half postponed or changed destination
56% of people got refunds for their cancellation
most people are not even sure/neutral if they want to see travel marketing
This is the end of the sentiment slides
Coronavirus has spread more widely and rapidly than expected
157 countries have imposed some type of travel restriction. That is 90% of all international travel
Two scenarios for global travel
Economy and international travel
International travel this year is going to fall by 20%
The effects are worldwide
Everyone is feeling it
Percentage of manufacturing that is contracting leading into a recession
The most acute losses will be in the red and yellow, the discretionary funds
Historical precedence for the 3rd and 4th quarter resurgence
Oxford economics models
Tourism economics models expects an awful Q1 but massive growth in Q2,see below
Profile of what we think for the travel industry
March is a true freefall but they are currently forecast the recovery in the April as we move through the year
Effects on unemployment are going to be dramatic
Unemployment going to surge to 10% they are forecasting
Travel on its own pushing unemployment from 3% to 6% alone
Loss of 18 billion visitors
50billion loss of revenue in travel- twice as much as 9/11
355 billion in rev with domestic travel spending
55 was 9/11
6 times the impact currently
Occ in US still at 52%, still dropping- when this week comes in it should be more like Italy and China
You could look at this chart and say that the US is faring better then China/Italy, but it could also be said that people are not heading the word of the CDC to social distance and self-quarantine. Potentially prolonging the pandemic.
Perhaps 18% drop and big rebound- simply because it has always happened
Economic collateral damage that will have to be worked through
The degree to which it declined is unprecedented but the nature of it is not
The year and degree is different but the pattern should be the same

Week ending 3/7/2020 RevPAR for the U.S. down 11.6%
It is spread across the board in each segment( meetings, leisure) and (upper, middle, economy) one segment isn’t faring better than the other nationally in the top 25 markets
Double digit declines for the foreseeable future
China closed 2600 hotels and occupancy was in single digits at the end of January, as of today have about 80% back open and are slowly back on the incline
This slide shows China and Italy’s occupancy in line with the U.S. based on occupancy from when the levels start to drop. It is very telling of the depth that this can reach down into the single digit Occ.

Demand for vacation rentals has suffered some significant setbacks, but the supply trend doesn’t seem to match the noise in the wider travel industry. Expectations may be low, but vacation rental hosts are, for all intents and purposes, open for business.

Commercial air traffic down 7.2% in March 2020
The decline has continued since February, when flights were down 4.3% compared to 2019, as airlines and governments respond to the spread of the novel coronavirus COVID-19. Through 15 March, we have tracked 1,514,780 commercial flights (out of 2,605,413 total flights). For the same 15 days in March 2019, commercial flights tracked were 1,633,065 (out of 2,564,867 total).
Number of scheduled flights is dropping fast, but many are replaced by rescue flights to bring citizens home, which keeps tracking numbers up. Currently airline after airline is grounding their fleet & we expect a big drop in number of tracked flights before the end of this week.

With data for 15 March 2020 included, our moving average of the total flights tracked has now dipped below the 2019 average for the first time.
