TALEB RIFAI: Right, local tourism is important, people should know more abt their own countries. What can we do to convince media and operators on that? Me too, OPTIMISM

RAJAN DATAR: Right, but we, investors, don’t have access to REAL figures. What can we do, in small business papers?

PROFESSOR DIMITRIOS IS RIGHT! I tried to publish REAL info, but there were forces stopping figures from China and ‘unusual’ countries. It seems BigPharma was influencing big media. What can we do with REAL FIGURES, by scientists?

If we envisage so much challenge in educating about sustainability….then what does that say about all the active educational regimes that’s been in place for many years eg certification regimes, degree courses and educational qualifications…..even governmental bonding schemes etc etc ?

We need international cooperation to implement a Post COVID 19 recovery plan.

Chris is right! It is a repeating chaos. We were not prepared. We should learn and prepare for majors changes, as I proposed in my chapter in TURISMO VIVO, and will hold a Live on Nov17th abt WHAT TO DO TO GET TOURISM BACK

PETER: This virus was acting in Wuhan in Nov. In ‘We Chat’in China you can find alerts from mid-end Nov. But world ignored alerts which were publihshed in Dec. WHY?

Both Peter n Edmond are right. But why gov’ts, although having news on that, avoid confronting some powerful institutions or associations, lobbies, etc, and try to ignore alerts until the situation is already a terrible, horrible cahos. Why not acting immediately?

Reinventing our hotels let's go… Read more »

the Covid informs us today that mass tourism must be reformatted readjusted to adapt it to activities and accommodation at the acceptable breakeven point and to multiply the units in neighboring areas

All depend on the location. If you invite me, I’d be happy to survey your potencial

my question is for investors and I would like to invite them to think about accommodation models that combine respect for the environment, authenticity and preservation of heritage.
The other question is how to come back to the concepts of ecovillages with architectures from home and to a fair sharing of income between investors and populations.

Investing in the region is great. However, would the Ministers consider how much they invest in educating the inbound tourist into their individual regions and what protocols need to be adhered to.

Having raised this matter personally with the Foreign Minister of State in the UK – how will the Ministers communicate with the UK’s Foreign Offices and website updates for UK tourists visiting their regions?

Huge problem is SAFE. What is Jordan, other countries in Middle East doing NOW n 2021 so investors can check things before deciding.
