Assume Suresh owns a small hotel catering to foreign travelers. It had been a profitable business prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the COVID-19 epidemic and the subsequent lockdowns forced him to close the business, as the pandemic dealt a significant hit to the tourism industry.

As a result, he wishes to seek your assistance in analyzing the marketing climate prior to restarting the firm. As such, you are expected to analyze the present marketing climate and explain the causes and forces to which he should pay special attention during this period of uncertainty. (1000 Words)
