Abstract The paper envisages bringing out the impact of Covid 19 on Child Labourers and how it has exacerbated Child Labour in the hotel industry particularly. Loss of income and hunger had urged the families to push their children into dangerous work when the country was facing a complete lockdown and the schools were closed. Children working in the pandemic environment were prone to the virus directly as they had to wash utensils and clean the tables and chairs to earn their living. Home deliveries were the reason why Hotels and restaurants had to remain open even when the virus had spread all over the world. The paper outlines the challenges faced by child labourers in the hotel industry and also sheds light on the legislation of the Government. On the International level also, many conventions are there to curb child labour. The paper tries to bring out how these legislations can be implemented in the way that the percentage of child labour could be declined not only at the hotel level but in other traditional and non-traditional sectors too.
