The hospitality and the tourist industry is seen as the foundation of economic prosperity, particularly in emerging nations. But this booming industry is particularly susceptible to calamities caused by humans and nature. This research evaluates the COVID-19 (coronavirus disease-2019) pandemic's effects on India's hospitality and tourist industry by addressing crucial issues including the situation right now, the difficulties it faces, and the outlook for the future. The research has used the secondary research approach. The secondary data for data gathering has been gathered from literature, journal articles, government papers, etc. According to the study's findings, COVID-19 in India significantly affected the hotel and tourism industries. The plans of both foreign and local visitors to visit the historical, religious, and cultural sites have been cancelled. Both the hotel bookings and the airline tickets have been cancelled. Many employees in the industry have lost their employment, which is significant. We wish to investigate how this global financial crisis has affected the human resources employed in the hospitality industry, namely the hotel sector, as well as their host facilities. To do this, we have opted for a qualitative approach that will enable us to more thoroughly investigate the best application of the data gained. Our research was based on semi-structured interviews with managers and industry professionals in the hotel and global data sectors. Through the manual content analysis of the interviewees' responses, we were able to determine the answers to our main questions.
