Visitors may be unable to travel due to travel restrictions in their home countries, plus who the heck is going to risk going on holiday until the pandemic is over.
Most flights are banned anyway.
You may be surprised @Wadadli Girl..cause people still trying to travel all now so
Look at those two jack donkeys really?
Its time to wean the country off tourism.
Tourism is not an industry…
Canada and the US closed their borders to all except residents and citizens……
These are first world countries with cutting edge technology and top notch health care systems, they are the ones that will come up with a vaccine mean while these jumby crabs spewing this fecal matter about a country that do not even have toilet paper and soap in the hospital wash rooms.
Question is ..will this be a situation of “the Drowning man”
A fellow was stuck on his rooftop in a flood. He was praying to God for help.Soon a man in a rowboat came by and the fellow shouted to the man on the roof, “Jump in, I can save you.”
The stranded fellow shouted back, “No, it’s OK, I’m praying to God and he is going to save me.” So the rowboat went on.
Then a motorboat came by. “The fellow in the motorboat shouted, “Jump in, I can save you.”To this the stranded man said, “No thanks, I’m praying to God and he is going to save me. I have faith.”So the motorboat went on.
Then a helicopter came by and the pilot shouted down, “Grab this rope and I will lift you to safety.” To this the stranded man again replied, “No thanks, I’m praying to God and he is going to save me. I have faith.”
So the helicopter reluctantly flew away.
Soon the water rose above the rooftop and the man drowned. He went to Heaven. He finally got his chance to discuss this whole situation with God, at which point he exclaimed, “I had faith in you but you didn’t save me, you let me drown. I don’t understand why!”
To this God replied, “I sent you a rowboat and a motorboat and a helicopter, what more did you expect?”
This is the time when you want to be closing the doors, not opening them. Countries with better resources are struggling and planning ahead, but we seem to be full steam come on over, everything is fine! Let’s hope our vulnerable people don’t get caught up in this!
