Implications and strategies to overcome the crisis among accommodation provider in Kundasang, Sabah during post- Covid19: conceptual paper

The pandemic Covid-19 is currently affecting local business, due to the restriction movement order imposed by the Malaysian government to curb the spreading of the virus. Many local accommodation providers remained closed while others are slowly recovering their business. However, a new norm must be implied with a mandatory standard operating procedure (SOP) to ensure the contagion is under control. This situation will hinder those businesses from doing a robust promotion to recover their losses during the post covid 19 situations, predominantly the accommodation providers. Hence, this project will be conducted to assess implications of the pandemic toward local accommodation provider in Kundasang, Sabah. Also, the study will come out with some applicable measures as their plan to recover during post-Covid 19 by the local accommodation provider. The output of this research should be beneficial to the state government of Sabah by either improving the existing policies or provide new frameworks or guidelines to the affected sector (local accommodation provider) to survive post covid-19 in the near future
