The Hospitality and Tourism Committee at the Bahrain Chamber of Commerce and Industry (BCCI), headed by Jihad Amin, has recently held a meeting with representatives of four-star hotels to probe the challenges facing the sector in light of the coronavirus pandemic.

The meeting deliberated about the difficulties facing hotels, means of ensuring the sustainability of work, and discussed availing of the support packages offered by the government.

The meeting also made a number of proposals with regard to reviving the sector, which will be raised to BCCI's board.

In this regard, Mr Amin explained that "The hospitality and tourism sector is one of the worst-hit sectors by these exceptional circumstances due to the coronavirus pandemic. It is important to prepare for all possible scenarios and take swift actions to mitigate the negative economic impact."

"As a committee representing this vital sector, we will spare no effort to ensure the revival of the sector at the soonest,” he added.

"We are proud of all the measures taken by the government to combat the spread of the coronavirus and ensure the health and safety of the people of Bahrain, and we urge all to adhere by the directives and take responsibility,” he concluded.
