NZ just announced no open borders long time to come..

The article goes on to state 'Tourism is one of New Zealand's biggest industries, directly employing almost 10% of the country's workforce, and contributing almost 6% of GDP.'

So in respect of Thailand's tourism sector which we know is easily double the economy must be really hurting 

Perhaps NZ is being overly cautious for there is movement about tourism in July though somehow absurd suggestion of sitting on the beach behind plexiglass, Won't that be like sitting in a greenhouse the suns rays magnified by the plexiglass?

 

India is announcing a mass pick up of stranded citizens by the navy must be one of the last countries to be doing so but that may also be an indicator of non movement as far as flights are concerned

The actual number of Indians wanting to return does not bode well, for predictions of travel

This does not look like good news and is exactly how a second wave occurs
