CONCERNS

The Austrian economy cannot cope with another lockdown, and tourism in particular. If winter tourism fails to appear, many hotels will not survive. Travel abroad is associated with risks because of Covid-19. (June, 2020)

IDEAS

Maybe we needed this pandemic to get our eyes opened. My generation, we were all born to see the world in rose-colored glasses. Our parents were able to give us everything we needed, we were allowed to go to school, to have enough to eat and to have many other privileges the generation before us did not have. And the only thing we are concerned about, was not seeing our friends or go partying for a month.

I CAN OFFER

I'm a soccer coach for kids. Maybe I can create a practice where they still keep distance, so that we can play again. (June, 2020)

EXPLOITATION

Lots of people lose their jobs do to this crisis. Employees have to get rid of a lot of job places because they need to safe money and the people who are still working for this company get less paid than before. Lots of employees in Austria exploited the "Kurzarbeit" because they got money from the government but the workers in this company still worked the same amount of hours than before, but they got less income.

Impact of COVID-19 on Travel: Foreign Travel Industry Needs an Immediate Rescue Plan:

This article is based on India's data but it could be translated to all the other countries in the world affected by coronavirus, because it is hitting the tourism sector the same way everywhere. During the last years tourism was unstoppably growing in India but now this sector will have just to fight for survival, because even if quarantine ends and people go back to their jobs, travelling will probably still be restricted. He is also stating that in many countries the governments already started up plans for saving the tourism sector but India is not one of them, and should start working on that. Article gives four possible solutions: Cancel or postpone the proposed TCS on foreign travel that was introduced in the Finance Bill (2020), One-year GST Relief, Exclusive Fund Allocation for the Tourism Sector, Interest-free Credit Facilities for the Travel Sector.
