IDEAS

Although the tourism industry is facing a great challenge and facing a great deal of doubt, I think it can face it, and get out of the position it is now in, with even better, stronger positive effects and an even brighter future. I believe that the key to success is mutual cooperation, unification,agreement, and solidarity , both between leading organizations, smaller and larger companies, and between us as individuals.

I am trying to help old people from our village to go to store for them and get them what they need or help them order things from online store beacause many of them dont know how to do it. (March, 2020)

I NEED

Advocacy and research to examine the extend to which local operators are good for local economies and data mining to determine the degree of public funding going to non-local businesses and myriad of funding eligibility rules across the circumpolar world. Perhaps our jurisdiction could learn from others. (April, 2020)

SOLUTIONS

Moving forward, I believe all hospitality companies from the executives to the property GM should have a detailed plan on how to adapt their businesses during pandemics. This will not be the last time we face a problem like this. (March, 2020)

EXPLOITATION

There have been cases I heard of where companies would apply for financial support from the government, even though they where not entitled to get it and had no real need for it. (June, 2020)

OTHER / SPOTTED

This article forecasts on how tourism lies in the future due to the Covid19 pandemic.

To support their tourism sectors, the article highlights that in essence, domestic travel and tourism will be expected to substitute foreign tourism demand. Additionally, the governments will support travel and tourism sectors more directly through bailout packages. In the future the article states that at the beginning, countries may require a COVID-19 free certificate. If it becomes evident that COVID-19 survivors become immune to subsequent infections and transmissions, an immunity certificate for example Yellow Fever booklet, the article suggested that may become a requirement for both outward and inward travel, improving visa application processes and make them online and also issuing immunity passports so people can leave the lock down early.
