BEAT DOWN Pandemic Destruction in Tourism

 

Missing those fantastic barbeques in Texas? Tennessee? Georgia? Argentina? Armenia? Anywhere?

REPUBLISHED First published Nov 2020 What has changed? Nothing. China still responsible.

The Pandemic identified as a virus generated in China and not clearly identified to the World has created misery, dispair, economic destruction, suspicion, and divide around the world. Let's face it. Nobody has a handle on it. All the rhetoric by so called scholars, Medical Gurus et al has shown squat. The Pandemic rages. Vaccine maybe on the horizon. Efforts to curtail the virus fails. Shutdowns are killing people from more maladies than the Virus itself. In the Tourism Industry it is economic death. Small operators that make up most of the Industry around the world have gone out of business are are attempting to hang on with Government financial assistance. Won't work. The governments do not have enough money to keep failing Mom and Pop attractions, restaurants, resorts, hotels and airlines alive. This is serious stuff. Having been in this business for over fifty years never has there been such an attack on human potential. It is becoming a wasteland. Politicians are fools. The Guru's have mostly proven incompetent. The individual has better sense than the Morons leading the not so good defeat of this killer Virus. I put my bets on the individuals to rise above. Yes many will die but we will prevail. Tourism will return but don't look for it to stabilize until about 2024. In the mean time. Help your family, your neighbour cope. Life has changed for ever. Politicians need to eat their own. They have proven worthless. China needs to be held accountable. This was clearly no accident. It was an assault on the World's economy. So far looks like they are getting away with it. Not in my camp.
