Documented cause
TravelCHI built adventure and eco-tourism bookings for Chilean and foreign visitors. Chile's October 2019 social uprising reduced inbound and domestic tourism by 25%. The company was recovering when COVID eliminated 90% of remaining travel. The dual crisis left TravelCHI without a recovery scenario. No bridge financing was available for travel companies in 2020.
Lesson
“Travel companies in politically active markets must maintain 18 months of cash reserves — single-event coverage is insufficient when multiple crises arrive sequentially.”
