One of the most affected fields of work that has been affected by coronavirus is tourism industry and event management industry. An event organising industry works on a prediction basis because the events are going to happen in the future and how they should turn out to be, is what they plan. Nobody knew that such a thing would happen and would affect the entire world with such intensity. There are a few steps that should be taken, and some things that should be considered during this pandemic to be able to sustain the events business-
• Ensure the safety of the attendees- It can be a possibility that even though there is a lockdown in the entire country, there are a few events that are supposed to be managed. In this time, making sure that proper medical safety supplies are provided like sanitizer, masks etc.
• Making a response team- There should be a team that is made, who knows how to deal with things in such a situation and ensure that the situation is under control.
• Keep yourself and others updated- This period is very unpredictable. Therefore, a good way to manage things is to know about the situation and pass on the information to the clients and the attendees.
• Update the attendees if there is any change in the chain of events and if rescheduled, make sure they have all the necessary information regarding the event.
• Make sure that cash is flowing because, during this time, cash has become very important for survival even though we are in lockdown.
• Work from home can be done by the employees to avoid physical contact and the work that can be managed by only coordinating can be done virtually.
• Build awareness about yourself- This time period can be used to spread awareness about yourself by marketing yourself. By this, potential clients will be made.
• Plan for future- By doing this, even though things are uncertain, you will still have a plan, ready to implement as soon as you can without any delay in the process as you will have everything right in front of you.
• Invest time in thinking about how you can better yourself and your firm and how you can handle clients. Think of ways in which you can be creative in serving your clients better.
It can be problematic for things to go on smoothly during this time, therefore it is important to calmly react to the situation and figure out ways that can ensure safety yet smooth work. Most of the work can be handled online by websites that help in managing payments, registration and live screening. By taking the help of these platforms, you can sustain the business, even if you cannot make a physical presence.
