.

The current infection situation and the 2G rules in hotels and restaurants that have been in effect since Tuesday "unfortunately make our guests very insecure," said the entrepreneur, referring to a current association survey.

After that, 96.8 percent of the member companies reported that Christmas parties were canceled.

Another 94.7 percent said events and meetings had been canceled.

In the case of overnight stays, 57.2 percent reported cancellations.

Dehoga Bayern: fear among the guests - "We are powerless against this"

The mood in the industry had only just brightened again since the easing in the summer.

But the steeply increasing incidence numbers seem to spoil more and more people visiting pubs or going to the company Christmas party.

In view of the current development, many restaurateurs and hoteliers are now "feeling desperate and deeply concerned".

They have "done everything to ensure that people are safe".

But the guests are now afraid "and we are powerless against it".

Dehoga Bayern: Heavy sales losses

According to the survey, turnover in the companies has been around 40 percent below the pre-crisis level of 2019 since the beginning of November. This means that the situation in the crisis-ridden industry is worsening again.

In view of the development, the head of the association spoke out in favor of a permanent reduction in VAT for the catering trade.

The corresponding regulation must finally also apply to drinks, demanded Inselkammer.

Meanwhile, the situation for the industry is deteriorating further.

From next week discos, bars and pubs are to be closed in the Free State.

This was announced by Prime Minister Markus Söder on Friday.
