IDEAS

Private tours are currently the safest way to travel. The probability that a tourist will be infected on the trip is relatively small, as long as the recommendations of the World Health Organization and the Slovenian National Institute of Public Health are followed. (July, 2020)

EXPLOITATION

Lots of people lose their jobs do to this crisis. Employees have to get rid of a lot of job places because they need to safe money and the people who are still working for this company get less paid than before. Lots of employees in Austria exploited the "Kurzarbeit" because they got money from the government but the workers in this company still worked the same amount of hours than before, but they got less income.

OTHER / SPOTTED

I saw a weird travel website talking about travel to countries that didn't have the coronavirus. All the more reason to NOT go there, I would say. In no time the virus would be there and those countries would soon also go through all the troubles and deaths. (May, 2020)
