Do you support the tourist openness announced by some countries, knowing that the world has not yet found an effective treatment or vaccine?
I thought that waiting at home until some means of controlling the pandemic is obtained.
I think people cannot stay home forever. There are financial commitments on each party (people, institutions, governments, etc.). Therefore, all industries, including tourism, will open momentarily and with control measures. No other choice.
The economic issue is more important for political leaders than public health.
As we all know that the US leaders pressured the WHO to change its opposition.
Power against human health.
No, I don't support the tourist openness announced by some countries, knowing that the world has not yet found an effective treatment or vaccine.
Moving back to a normal state while the virus is taking its toll is not very wise. After all, the main purpose of travelling is enjoyment and relaxation and no one wants to visit plague stricken areas where the danger of death and sickness is high.
In my opinion no on foreign tourists to revive its economy when a Covid-19 vaccine is still unavailable .
Dear Dr. Mutasem Z. Bani-Fwaz ,
I have never endorsed the tourist openness announced by some countries, especially since there is no effective treatment or vaccine yet, as citizens' health is the most important thing from the economy, tourism, etc. As the human element is the basis for the progress of any country, but in the case of a real vaccine, countries can open up in all activities.
Yes I do because you can't wait one more year until a vaccine is produced and being commercially available. Its very wrong to imagine that after one year lets say of closure you can simply press a bottom and restart tourism again the next day! Alot of businesses would be already dead, alot of tourism professionals would have already found another job ,long list of damages really I can't count so a big no to closure until vaccine development
many aspects of life are disrupted and tend to collapse the impact of the covid plague, in my opinion there are 5 major aspects that are very influential in human survival and one by one will feel the impact, those aspect are: 1/ tourism-transportation (air, sea, land), 2 / property-manufacture-automotive (excluding logistics), 3 /telecommunications technology (internet, electricity, phone connectivity, 4/ education (at least in this year no classroom method, not all major effective with e-learning/online teaching method), 5/banking &financial business. if some countries has a policy to start open/welcoming tourist, due to recovery economy aspect also to generate business and avoid increasing unemployment, i will support as long as we obey follow the health protocol from WHO and each individual is compliant well and government of the country must be responsible if any tourist is infected in their country, cause this situation is part of consequences policy, sooner or later all aspects will get their turn, even human life more important then other aspect but life will keep goin forward, just be aware, stay safe, discipline & realize our daily routine are not same again (washing your hands often, physical distancing, wearing face mask when do activity, bring hands sanitizer & disinfectant)... cheers;)
In my opinion, as I have seen/watched in the news, the second wave is more difficult and risky at all. Incremental of COVID19 cases have been notices every day and that's not a joke, so, better stay at home.
It could be good for the psychological conditions of the people all round the world.
It is necessary to do, but with good measures, control and healthiness prevention
The Corona virus threatens global tourism with paralysis. It is very wrong to imagine the resumption of tourism again in the countries of the world, and Iwaid opened tourism because it is fraught with risks as long as the virus exists until this moment and there was no effective treatment against the virus
International mobility is vital for economic reasons. Furthermore, we cannot stay in a bubble and hope to have enough immunity for resistance against viruses. Safety and mobility can both be accomplished by maintaining good personal hygiene.
Yes, of course with some restrictions and PCR control 48 hours before traveling outside, and only give permission to negative cases
I understand that world eceonomy is in a difficult situation and the stressed national economic circumstances may pressurize nations to take such steps. But without proper infrastructures and measures to tackle the situations, the action may expose tourists, economy, other infrastructural elements to further risks. Thus, a systematic global plan with approvals and implementable plans from local and international agencies, medical authorities can help open up tourism in a phased manner.
Dear Bani-Fwaz
I not coincide with any type of openness sine the pandemic is still active.
Regards
Yes, there will be no available proved vaccinations anyway. We should accept this as we were forced to accept other respiratory illnesses. Life continues
At this time, NO. There will be a second wave that will become more dangerous to humankind and COVID19 is still active.
There are very important economical reasons to do that but accompanied of great measures of precaution

I am support this way of thinking. Tourism is very important for economy, but for now is better to be reasonable unstead greedy. We have time for reopening.

Indeed I do! As a former AF ER medic and clinical psychologist My responsibility is to save lives!

Tourism is very important for economy of my country, but in this moment it is still dangerous. I only support partially, in delimited areas of some regions, with low risks and tight control.
Life has to go on no matter what happens around us. Opening tourist centers is right only if formulated health protocols are carefully observed.
I think that the best way to reactivate tourism should start by recognizing the local. It is a good opportunity to go back to tour the country itself. There will be time to travel the world
It is the capital's pressure on policy, Economy determines the society, not ethics, neither people
Restrict the openness for those who are medically able and invent effective policy for controlling COVID 19 spread.
Of course, yes, but taking all the control, precautions and special measures needed to guarantee at maximum their health and of the all surrounders
The world must be opened and movement can´t be stopped but always with good measures for prevention of the disease
السياحة سلاح ذو حدين
فهي بجميع الاحوال اما ان تاني بالأموال أي
الناحية الاقتصادية او الناحية الصحية أي المرض وفي حال اختارت الدول الانفتاح فان درجة المغامرة كبيرة وفي جميع الاحوال اذا طال اكتشاف اللقاح فعلينا أن نتعايش مع الفايروس ويمكن أن تظهر عند هذه الدول انواع من السياحة فمثلا عندنا في فلسطين النسبة الكبيرة من السياحة هم من كبار السن بسبب انه عندنا أكثر شيء هي السياحة الدينية أقصد السياحة الخارجية وبسبب صعوبة أن كبار السن يخافون من السياحة فعلى فلسطين أن تبحث عن انواع من السياحة التي تجذب متوسطي السن والشباب في حال قررت أن تفتح مع مراعاة كل البروتوكولات الصحية مع العلم أن درجة المغامرة كبيرة في حال قررت الدول أن نفتح غسان عمر
Yes if it is conditional on preventive instructions and applied well in tourist areas as well as within the tourist country
I think it is important to continue discussing the possibility of opening more responsible tourism
With may precautions it is needed because there are many reasons between the economics and many others that recommend to be out some days outside
Mutasem Z. Bani-Fwaz
Life should go on - with the necessary precautions.
It is obliged to keep more precautions than usual in order to prevent reinfections
Yes, of course, but with all the preventive measures present and PCR for all the people before leaving their original countries 2-3 days before the departure date
No I don't support. As safety comes first. We should wait for some more time get things normal
I dont reckon to have a big booster completely. First of all, authorities should control their own contry to out of bad situation by the virus, at least they must protect their citizens
The world is at a dilemma what to support more : health / safety or economic stability. At times more focus is given to one and at times to the other.
It is absolutely necesary to avoid the relapses and fare-ups taking all the measures needed to prevent them
No, I do not support. It is possible to spend one year or two without foreign tourism for the purpose of safety. And it is possible to travel in Your own country during this one or two years, if there is a strong necessity to move.
Using appropriate measures and controls is enough to have a good efficacy
Hopefully with the promising ongoing trials on the upcoming vaccines, situations of industries including tourism industry will be improved.
Yes, of corse, taking all the preventive measures into account the problem continue to exist but at a minimunmrisk
no, I don't support international tourism till this pandemic. all countries can focus or target domestic tourism in 2020
I totaly agree, we have to be responsible, sometimes is less (money, income...) better and bigger.
Yes. There are many economical reasons to support this decision, indeed
A partial opening for some prime reasons such as Medical tourism (with all precautions in place) should be considered. Rather nations could focus on supporting domestic tourism and economy given that (a) covid-19 is yet to disappear totally and (b) we have serious concerns about how to revive and rebuild domestic tourism.
To date, I think it is time to consider phasing out all restrictions.
The world must be cautious and open gradually lookin for the contagiosity index country by country
