With unemployment numbers soaring to record highs I wonder when people will be able to afford to hop on flights to travel overseas. I think the tourism industry is going to suffer for a very long time.
Yes, and there will be a significant impact simply because people's habits have changed. This pandemic will have gone on so long that people will have adapted to a new normal behavior that does not include traveling and going out so much. As people have adapted and become satisfied using Zoom and other tools for online family conferencing they will not feel the need to travel as much.
I have noticed that I do not feel the urge to go out to dinner as much now. I have become more accustomed to eating at home. I see others are this way too. When I do go out the restaurants have much fewer customers.
