The covid 19 pandemic has hit this booming sector on the planet, tourism. The year 2020 will mark the end of interrupted growth in tourism activity worldwide. The coronavirus has stopped its progression. A brutal and worrying stop for the economy and employment. But while waiting for better days, how can tourism reinvent itself? What can be the role of states to fly to the aid of bloodless professionals? Develop domestic tourism? Yes, but is it the only solution awaiting the opening of borders? And with what health guarantees? Questions we will ask our three guests.
