An article in "Project Syndicate", the most prominent opinion opinion platform in the world, expected the transition of countries from the stage of "internal embargo" in each country to lifting the embargo and the remaining countries being isolated from each other, within a new reality that the modern world did not witness, in which the worlds of tourism shrink Flying and moving.
"The short international travel days or long trips in which the tourist visits several countries are gone, and they are not going to return, and it will remain so if the human race does not reach the vaccine for the emerging corona virus," said the article, in which the authors shared: Simon Johnson and Peter Bones.
And the article continued that «the new Corona at first seemed like a global common concern, but now every country puts its exit strategy on its own, and countries are moving towards lifting the internal ban, also preparing for isolation and coercion through the expected restrictions of international travel.
He added: "Tourism, trade and travel will not return as before, and the model of life in this regard is not clear, but it is more likely that closing each country to itself will slow down the global economy and create crises, at least for small economies."
The article divided the status of Corona resistance strategies into three: "eradication, hereditary immunity, and curbing the virus."
"Although eradication is difficult to achieve, there are countries like New Zealand that say it has accomplished it, and countries like Australia say they are close to it, and northern Canada may succeed in that," the authors said.
The authors continued: «As for the hereditary immunity, there are countries that will coexist with him in the framework of accepting the survival of the virus, with the siege of its spread, such as: Sweden, Japan, and Brazil, which call the same strategy (horizontal isolation), as well as in India, and some countries in Africa and Asia , The Middle East, and Latin America. ”
Health in a faster way, while these same steps faltered in the United States and developed western countries, due to the disparity in access to health care by citizens, lack of confidence in governments, income disparities, and some residents in these countries refused to report their infection with the virus, for fear of losing Their job, or pay the high cost of treatment. ”
The article set a hypothetical example of Corona's effect on the tourism industry in the future, saying: “If we envision in the near future the arrival of a tourist delegation to the island of Newcoland, we must also expect that his tourist agents, who are wearing (dangerous suits), should wear health protection suits, and to be Their first step is to take him - that is, to accompany the delegation - to (quarantine), to spend 15 days, and he has to wait after that to find out the result of the examination, after which he will not be allowed to enter, unless his result is negative.
He pointed out that the countries of "hereditary immunity", such as Sweden, would be happy to invite everyone to it, but the travel of their nationals to the countries of "eradication", and the countries of "restraint" would not be welcome.
