World is going through unprecedented change, situation is nothing less than a war. May be in modern day civilisation, this is the first episode where world has come together to fight a common enemy.
Good or bad, nature seems to be healing a bit and has taken a gasp of breath before entering into a new phase.
But question is, how is tourism going shape up after this lockdown.. Many are predicting that it will take 1-2 years for tourism industry to come back in action. Tourists may not like to venture into foreign destination any time soon. Destinations also may not be that friendly to accept foreign tourists for some time. This may be true for global tourism industry, but it may be a good opportunity for businesses to look inward and explore whats there in their own backyard.
So what is left in these circumstances is to emphasis on local tourism. It may be food, culture, heritage, landscapes and nature. Every other tourism company is having long list of foreign clients, may be its time to rezig it with local ones..
Govts can also emphasis on locals to visit local places and know about their own culture before exploring into foreign lands.
As far as firms are concerned, biggies can’t operate to their full extent and would be burning cash and will be busy in maintaining cash flows. Smaller firms may have better chance of survival. Now, they can reach individually to their client and help them out with movements and also use this time to showcase their main features/tech stack etc to their end customers or public in general.
Hope to see some action soon.
