The World Travel and Tourism Council, which considers that the health emergency caused by COVID-19 has put at risk 50 million employees in the sector around the world, which is between 12% and 14% of the tourism sector. The coronavirus crisis caused a destabilization of the hotel sector, due to massive cancellations of hotel reservations made by consumers, who are on standby, but continue to maintain the intention to travel if the situation evens out or improves. The city of Quevedo is recognized as one of the most important river ports in the country, however, during the outbreak of the coronavirus (COVID-19) Quevedo has been severely threatened, losing countless citizens every day.
