Rebuilding tourism a different way 17 Dec 2020 / 17:29 H.
THE narrative so far had been centred on tourism recovery, which is possible under normal circumstances such as after an industry downturn. For natural disasters like major floods or earthquakes, international rescue and relief could even come from halfway across the world.
Recovery is the process of regaining possession of something lost, or returning to a former situation after a catastrophe, or restoring a thing to its former condition. But when it is beyond repair or restoration, it is necessary to rebuild. What is outdated ought to be replaced with new.
This holds true for tourism, as the scenario post pandemic will be vastly different from developments over the past decades.
