This month in Unquote: With travel and tourism likely to be hardest hit by the coronavirus crisis, private-equity-backed companies will have to adapt to survive
The travel sector has been particularly hard hit by the coronavirus outbreak. While many European governments are in the process of considering lifting or easing certain lockdown measures, the travel sector looks likely to remain afflicted for some time.
Prior to the crisis, the travel and tourism sector had seen significant interest from European GPs in recent years – 2015 in particular was a highlight year for investments in the sector, with 18 buyouts totalling €6.64bn, according to Unquote Data. Harriet Matthews has been talking to several sector experts to see how private-equity-backed companies are adapting, and how they can bounce back.
