Why is it important?
To this end, a literature review methodology was employed. The results revealed that COVID-19 induced a negative impact on the hospitality industry in Poland in 2020, but with the beginning of 2021 this industry began to recover gradually. Also, COVID-19 quickened digital transformation adoption.
