Global tourism in the context of vaccines and corona mutations

In the midst of advancing vaccination and continuing some health restrictions, with the emergence of new strains of the corona virus, it is still not possible to make a definitive decision about reviving tourism on a planet that is affected by new diseases every day, like many other economic sectors.

In a world grappling with economic conflicts and problems, the Covid 19 epidemic is affecting various economic sectors, including the tourism industry, more severely today, IRNA reported.

Experts have a number of theories, from restrictive travel policies to claims by some that they live with the disease without affecting the economy and trade, as well as in the area of ​​human leisure.

Travel2latam’s tourism portal has explored concerns, perspectives and capacities in this article.

“As vaccination levels improve and more health controls are in place, measures such as quarantine and stricter restrictions are gradually being reduced, and many countries are beginning to lift or lift these restrictions,” the magazine said, which specializes in Latin American and Florida tourism. Do in the short term.

Advancing vaccination these days plays a key role in managing the epidemic and opening up to the tourism market and has created different conditions for the world than last year.

However, now with the emergence of mutant species, the epidemic seems to be intensifying and affecting more people. When even vaccination does not seem to be quite effective in meeting the needs of a variety of species, the epidemic becomes even more deadly.

Some sectors of the economy, which see restrictive measures as failing to control the disease and only see them as endangering their economies, have called for the restrictions to be lifted.

In this regard, Julia Simpson, Executive Director of the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC), recently stated that quarantine is necessary early in the epidemic and is not required for fully vaccinated individuals.

“Some countries support the value and benefits of vaccination,” said Willie Walsh, director of the International Air Transport Association (IATA). Governments need to build trust by insisting on vaccinations for benefits such as travel.

In this regard, “Zurab Pololikashvili,” Secretary General of the World Tourism Organization, said: “Vaccination around the world, effective cooperation and coordination to implement travel restrictions and the development of digital tools to speed things up are among the key to rebuilding trust and restarting tourism.” .

On the other hand, it is interesting to note that Professor Mauricio Rodriguez, a professor at the Mexican School of Medicine, warns that the fatigue caused by the prolongation of the epidemic cannot be ignored, despite 100% confirmation of the effectiveness of vaccines and their distribution around the world; It is now about a year and a few months, and we still do not know what will happen in the long run regarding the duration of the outbreak of coronary heart disease or the immunity of vaccines.

Although international air travel, according to IATA, increased last July due to high levels of vaccination and summer travel demand, it is still not known with the emergence of new strains of the virus and unknown disease. It is not possible to make a definite conclusion about health policies or the long-term effectiveness of vaccination.

Meanwhile, the official number of people with coronary heart disease has been rising since the beginning of the epidemic, with about 221 million cases worldwide and more than 4.5 million deaths.
