The risks of tourism: human zoos and Dark Tourism
In this period, in which coronavirus has obliged us to change our habits, a thing over everything has come to light: the problem of over-pollution. While we were closed at home, doing our duty to avoid the spread of the contagion, we saw the nature taking a sigh of relief. We saw videos of wild animals that walked undisturbed along the streets of towns, the water of canals in Venice becoming clear, dolphins playing near the docks of ports. Personally, I experienced a night of absolute silence, then another one where in the only sound was the rain falling on the balcony and on the ground. Now that phase 2 is started and gradually we’re moving again, I ask myself how pollution situation will evolve: will we adopt more green behaviours?
Expo 2020 Dubai is gearing up to help shape a post-pandemic world and create a better future for all after a two-thirds majority of Bureau International des Expositions (BIE) Member States voted in favour of postponing the next World Expo by one year.
Most Italians who are closed at home during this period are looking forward to going out. One of the things we miss most are travel. So much so that most are already thinking about summer holidays. At least will we be able to do them?
According to a recent survey conducted by Portale Sardegna on a sample of Italian travelers, it is clear that most of our compatriots have the desire and desire to travel, despite the current situation.
Negli ultimi 25 anni, la Thailandia ha subito un drammatico incidente economico (1997), uno tsunami (2004), colpi di stato (2006, 2014), l’occupazione del suo principale aeroporto internazionale da parte dei manifestanti (2008) e gravi violenze politiche (2010).
Everyone wonders what phase 2 of the fight against coronavirus will look like, in which albeit slowly all sectors will have to try to resume their normal activity.
TURISMO: Quando e come si ritornerà a viaggiare in aereo dopo il Covid-19?
It’s an uncertain time. Never could I have imagined it, no one could have predicted it and yet everyone has been touched by it. So I want to be open and transparent with you in this time of uncertainty.
È un momento incerto. Non avrei mai potuto immaginarlo, nessuno avrebbe potuto prevederlo eppure tutti ne sono stati toccati. Quindi voglio essere aperto e trasparente con te in questo momento di incertezza.
La prossima, sarà davvero una Pasqua di passione soprattutto per il turismo – il “made in Italy” per eccellenza: siamo o no il Paese più bello del mondo? – che, proprio nel periodo della Resurrezione, apriva solitamente le porte al mondo intero. E’ vero, i danni che stiamo registrando sono incalcolabili in tutti i settori (industria ed agricoltura “in primis”): se il Pil potrebbe scendere, nel 2020, del 6,5%, il debito pubblico, alla faccia di quei parametri europei della legge di stabilità ora messi da parte da Bruxelles, dovrebbe salire di oltre il 150%, con un “rischio-default” ovviamente rapportato alla durata della pandemia perché nessun virologo si espone ancora in tal senso.
