A short—term boost. we are going to find ways to boost the vaccinations. crucially, we dont know if the vaccine prevents you from transmitting the disease. that is going to be really crucial for holidays, because even if you have been vaccinated and you can still transmit the disease, countries are not going to want to let you in. but for travellers it is going to be an important step towards booking with confidence. when the vaccine news for the pfizer vaccine came out in december, we saw a 3...

Everest expeditions. mount everest is where our goddess miyolangsangma resides. it is a sacred mountain. for me, it is a magical place. i have enormous reverence and respect for mount everest. i have seen how beautiful and magic it can be. but ive also seen the tragedy, the death they can result from being on mount everest. in the 19505, there were only like four or five western tourists who came into the everest region. by 2019, we have thousands, more than 35,000 tourists, who came to the ever...
