OYO Hotel has seen a 21% increase in stays of more than seven days in the US during the current COVID-19 pandemic.
The company attributed the growth to more usage by frontline workers.
Abhinav Sinha, global COO & operating partner, OYO US, said: “We value this opportunity to serve our guests in these unprecedented times. We are working diligently to offer comfortable and hygienic accommodation to all those in need and our asset partners have a huge role to play in helping us achieve this.
“While the coronavirus crisis has deeply impacted our industry, it has also created the need for long term stays for the frontline workers. We are hopeful of driving demand for our partners across regions in the long term stays segment at a time when this can help maintain social distancing and break the cycle/chain of infections.
“Many of our hotels provide amenities in-house and are well-equipped to support the needs of long-term guests at an affordable price. We will continue to work together to serve those who are in need while adhering to stringent levels of hygiene and cleanliness.’’
