Sorry if this has been discussed elsewhere.

We now experience the effect of the changes. We started a while ago doing business with an hotel in town. They ordered from us sometimes on a weekly basis. Yesterday we inquired about why we have not heard from them in two weeks. There reply was that they still have stock.

In my opinion what is happening now is that they have less guests resulting in less sales for us. This means not only do they have less business, but so do we and so do all businesses along the chain. My suppliers might experience a minimal effect directly from the hotel not ordering from us. At the same time it could effect all the businesses selling to the hotel.

I am interested to learn whether other businesses have similar experiences.
