As the coronavirus spreads globally, the travel and tourism industry is among the worst hit. It’s not surprising that Booking Holdings (NASDAQ:BKNG) has declined by 40% from 52-week highs of $2094.

As a long-term speculative play, Chinese electric vehicle maker Nio (NYSE:NIO) appears like a solid pick.
