19. COVID-19 DISCLOSURE

 

COVID-19 had a material detrimental impact on our business, financial results and liquidity, in Fiscal Year 2021, ended January 31, 2021. More recent developments in the U.S., lead IHT Management to believe the severe adverse effects of the Virus on Fiscal Year 2021 on IHT and the entire hotel and travel industry will be reduced as the economy recovers, and travel recovers in the current Fiscal Year 2022, (February 1, 2021 to January 31, 2022).

 

The global spread of COVID-19 has been and continues to be a complex and evolving situation, with governments, public institutions and other organizations imposing or recommending, and business and individuals implementing, at various times and to varying degrees, restrictions on various activities or other actions to combat its spread, such as restrictions on travel or transportation, or operating limitations on work facilities, schools, public buildings and business, cancellation of events, including sporting events, conferences and meetings, and quarantines and lock-downs. COVID-19 and its consequences initially dramatically reduced travel and demand for hotel rooms, which has impacted our business, operations, and financial results. We believe that since April 2021, lodging demand and revenue level are now in a recovery stage.
