I am not concerned at all. That would go against my Stoic principles. I do my best to see reality as it is. And that is very difficult indeed at the moment. And from there, with that information, I try to act good. I started this topic because I indeed wonder how he future of dive tourism will look like in future. And I am happy with the many response. I think there will be a future. As much there was a future for sex tourism after HIV. But together we will have to figure out the ins and outs. There might be new ways of teching scuba, other protocols to follow. Based on data. Data which are still far from complete now. And maybe there is a vaccine worldwide available in February 2021 and we will continue business as we used to do.

The future of diving will be up to whatever regional government dictates it to be. In Australia regional restrictions have already been lifted and dive boats are allowed to operate to their former full capacity amounts of people on their boats. Regional flights for tourism have recommenced without onboard social distancing. I'm certain people will travel without terror or fear of coronavirus. Pretty much everything looks like things are heading back to the way things used to be.
Bali on the other hand, the governor is trying to impress with his "strict" approach. But he also believes that Bali can substitute tourism dollars by exporting mangosteens and traditional handicrafts
 
Okay
Feel free
 
I am not so afraid of death; more concerned about the consequences of having suffered through the virus. Will everyone recover to their level of health beforehand or not? Some are not and this should be acknowledged. We need to become educated about this too, not only how many die.


I agree. Mental health and stress has affected people all over the world the most. A lot of people are still believing the negativity being put out by the media, instead of seeing that everything is returning back to normal, sooner than they'd ever imagined

I'm not talking about mental health.

Just because you don't know anyone who continues to suffer doesn't mean that I don't. I do

Well more people have suffered not by directly being infected, but by the "hysteria"...i.e. loss of livelihood.
How would you survive without any income or assistance for nearly 4 months, or if you had a family to feed on top of that??

Let's not mix up the two subjects.

One subject is the reality of COVID19 and the other is the sad state of affairs economically.

It will depend highly on the customers and the logistics as well. By the way, the original people of Bali had a life before tourism too.

We do not know that. There are no data. But maybe the guests visiting "poor" countries in future can take that in consideration if they bargain for another 3% discount.

I think the original people of every country in the world had a life before tourism also...lol
