Souvenir shops on weekends without clients. |
Today I was in one of the most popular tourist places in Belarus.
I talked with local workers in cafes, restaurants, hotels, souvenir shops.
Yes, and I saw a sad picture now. And I realized that COVID-19 did not just hit the tourism industry, but test its strength. Who will survive and who will not.
As the saying goes, those who have amassed themselves "fat" for the previous time, and who have no obligations, loans, and other debts, will survive this crisis for the tourism industry. And not only in the Republic of Belarus but throughout the world. The strongest survives. I am sure many will leave this business. It is not yet clear when the tourism industry will recover.
But there is always hope for the best, and we will not only wait but also do everything possible and not possible everything in our power, so that the tourism industry would enter a normal working regime.
In the meantime, you need to adapt to the current conditions and look for yourself in today's world with today's realities. But as they say, don't close the door behind the tourism business.
And when all this is over, then welcome to Belarus!
