The adverse impact of the recent pandemic on the lodging industry has largely been based on anecdotal evidence. The extent to which different parts of this broad industry were individually affected by the COVID-19 pandemic also remains unclear. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic in the various sectors of the lodging industry to identify patterns that may not be consistent with the idea that the entire hospitality industry was negatively affected by the pandemic. The results show that while the COVID-19 pandemic did have a generally negative effect on lodging demand, hotel room and peer-to-peer accommodation property bookings were not affected equally. Importantly, it appears that these variations were attributable, at least in part, to state-level variations in policy that made travel and hospitality services relatively more (or less) difficult for consumers to obtain. Theoretical and managerial implications are extensively discussed.

最近大流行对住宿业的不利影响主要基于轶事证据。这一广泛行业的不同部分分别在多大程度上受到 COVID-19 大流行的影响也尚不清楚。本研究的目的是调查 COVID-19 大流行对住宿业各个部门的影响，以确定可能与整个酒店业受到大流行负面影响的想法不一致的模式。结果表明，虽然 COVID-19 大流行确实对住宿需求产生了普遍的负面影响，但酒店房间和点对点住宿物业预订并未受到同样的影响。重要的是，这些差异似乎至少部分归因于，州级政策的变化使消费者相对更难（或更难）获得旅行和酒店服务。广泛讨论了理论和管理意义。
