1. History of financials and sustainability
According to the Aviation benefits report released in 2019, airlines operated more than 100,000 flights and flew over 12 million passengers and USD 18 billion worth of cargo in 2018. They brought in a revenue of 8.3 trillion.2. Present Scene
While the industry has always been impacted by cyclical recessions, the COVID-19 pandemic has led to many carriers filing for bankruptcy due to frequent cancelations, suspension of bookings, and lockdowns restricting incoming and outbound flights. 2020’s passenger demand has gone down by 38% and more, resulting in losses of USD 46 billion. The only flights going out are repatriation missions, medical emergency, and diplomatic flights, such as India’s Vande Bharat Mission.The private sector firm has fared slightly better. Argus International says that while there is a 27% drop, data management consultants predict that recovery will be faster than public and government-owned jets, i.e. within a year.3. Outlook and Recovery
The reason behind the quicker recovery for privately owned jets is that social distancing measures are easier to follow. While interest in business and leisure travel remains consistently high, the concerns over skyrocketing airfare and fear of getting infected in transit are holding passengers from catching flights. IATA predicts that the aviation sector will not fully return to normal until 2024, at least. By then, the trend of squeezing in more passengers on a single flight by reducing seating dimensions will be reversed, resulting in flights operating at reduced capacity. But with flying services resuming, international and domestic travel will garner renewed interest, which will impact the tourism trade favorably.B) Hospitality:

1. History of financials and sustainability
The hospitality trade that started out at the turn of the 20th century is presently valued at USD 570 billion worldwide.2. Present Scene
At present, a few hotel chains have converted their occupancy into isolation units for COVID-19 infected patients. They provide On-call doctors, preplanned meals, and sanitization measures to ensure public safety and movement.A travel survey conducted by preferred Hotels and Resorts reveals that 75% of respondents want to reunite with their loved ones, having been stranded in different locations. The only factor constraining bookings is public safety concerns over places where crowds gather.3. Outlook and Recovery
The hospitality and aviation trades are closely linked, particularly in sponsoring events and in conducting international economic trade. Holiday getaways and weekend travel is expected to go up. According to Arne Sorenson, CEO of the Marriott chain, there was a 25% decline in hotel revenue in China in the first financial quarter of 2020. 60 days into the pandemic, this number climbed to 90% due to restrictions on travel and social gathering.Some of the measures undertaken by the Marriott chain that have impacted its staff include hiring only for mission-critical roles which means letting go of a few associates, suspending marketing and advertising activities, shortened work hours, and the executive board taking a 50% cut in pay.C) Education and Learning

1. History of financials and sustainability
According to the macro trends reports , the global education system is valued at an estimated USD 1.3 billion as of March 2020. From a sustainability perspective, education continues to be a priority for all economies, particularly those in trades with skills shortages. It creates the need for imparting these skills via educational programs to a cohort.2. Present Scene
When news of just how serious the Covid-19 outbreak was, many educational institutions advanced holiday breaks and canceled end-of-term examinations. They sent students and teaching faculty packing to contain the spread of the virus. Provisions were made for online learning and lesson planning to acquaint teaching faculty with tools for conducting sessions online.Presently, schools in developed economies have opened cautiously for certain age-groups. While most are still experimenting with a mix of online and in-person classes.3. Outlook and Recovery
Distance learning has become the norm with classes conducted on various online platforms. While those in urban areas can have access to classes with hi-speed connectivity, those in remote areas may find frequent disruptions to their classes or teaching schedule.It is expected that educational institutions will fully open their doors to new cohorts only after the second epidemiological endpoint is reached, sometime between April to August 2021. This is because the mass gathering in classrooms for exam and learning purposes is not completely avoidable, and therefore herd immunity is critical to deciding on a date safest for public reopening.D) Sports and Performing Arts

1. History of financials and sustainability
As of 2020, the sports industry values at USD 500 billion. However, with the Covid-19 outbreak, this sector has lost 45.4% of jobs due to waning interest in spectator sports. As a result, ticket sales have dropped and many international events have been postponed indefinitely. North America accounts for the largest market share in sports, at 30%. Western Europe and Asia-Pacific come a close second.2. Present Scene
Authorities canceled Chess tournaments, cricket matches, Wimbledon 2020, and the Tokyo Olympics. Project managers are looking at the feasibility of airing spectator views and casting them on channels that stay-at-home working professionals are subscribed to for safe recreation.3. Outlook and Recovery
While the pandemic forecasts for theatres, concert venues, and sporting areas is that they are unlikely to reopen in full capacity until 2022. The sports industry is expected to continue to grow, reaching a value of $614.1 billion by 2022.Which industries have risen up during the pandemic?

1) Food delivery and courier services

2) Automation industry

3) Pharmaceuticals and Medical equipment
With countries reporting an alarming rise in cases in the second wave of the pandemic, medical stores and pharmaceuticals scrambled initially to meet the rising demand for at-home monitoring devices such as pulse oximeters, heart rate monitors, and infrared thermometers. The demand for infrared temperature sensors increased when retail stores made temperature checks compulsory before admitting shoppers. Biopharma companies like Gilead Sciences have seen their stocks go up in line with Remdesivir’s sales, a broad-spectrum antiviral medication.Hospitals have tied up with pharmaceutical manufacturers for in-patient supplies such as personal protective gear, gloves, and so on. It has led to an increase in sales of medical equipment.4) Logistics
Before COVID-19, the authorities optimized the supply chain network to find leads and compete for customers with the lowest possible bundles. Today, however, the shift to a nearly fully-online service model has seen companies reducing their dependence on middle-men. They are now offering factory-to-residence or workplace options with the installation of regional logistics ‘hubs’. These points connect customers to more products across different businesses, from food and medicines to agriculture, e-commerce, and documentation courier services.Another reason for the rise in logistics is the influx of people stretching and downsizing in line with move in-move outs. Many are leaving the rented tenements in favor of relocation and rely on movers and packers to move their possessions. If this trend continues, logistics will adopt high-end transactional and tracking technology to improve customer service, reduce time, and save on costs.The Role of Vaccine in influencing the Pandemic forecast
