@potter_beth This is a great leap forward to support our tourism industry. Hoping the "test of the testing" goes well and goes fast

Great news for our tourism industry. BREAKING: Rapid testing at airports to replace mandatory quarantine for international travellers torontosun.com/news/national/…

Two back to back headlines on my twitter feed today that truly characterize our challenges for the tourism industry this summer: Tweet "1: Nova Scotia marks 12 days with no new cases" and 2: "Covid-19 crushes Nova Scotia's tourism season" Where is the middle ground?

@PaulNursey @checknews Well written article. Its staggering to think of the impact that tourism has on our overall economy. Crossing our fingers for action!

Thanks @checknews for continuing to cover our industry. Op-Ed: B.C. tourism’s most important indicators show much of sector on life support cheknews.ca/op-ed-b-c-tour…

Important perspective on protecting our air service. What has taken decades to secure air routes can be list in the blink of an eye. We need evidence based solutions to reopening our tourism economy and not fear and ambiguous messages.

I was going to write a similar story for Canada but no need. James Thornton from Intrepid has articulated this well for Australia and Canada too.

@attastowell @eskinner @madeleine Well done Shannon! Really appreciate your leadership!

We need an evidence based solution to opening up tourism that minimizes risk but that also allows for a careful reopening of our tourism economy. Some resorts are doing fine but our cities are not ok. Safety and economics can work together. We need common sense now

Would love to hear comments from the tourism industry whether this may have long term impacts on their brand? Positive or negative?

The travel, tourism and hospitality industries have come together to form the Canadian Travel & Tourism Roundtable. We’re working to save the sector by saving the summer travel season. It’s #timetotravel. See our open letter at time-to-travel.ca

Great initiative from the Town of Banff. A step forward in considering the impact of single use plastics. Great community leadership

@efesevin @PlaceBrandOBS Tourism needs to be managed strategically, or the blunt instrument of regulation, like in Barcelona, will rule and nobody likes regulation

@PlaceBrandOBS Barcelona has an enviable opportunity to increase yield from travelers over the volume strategy they have been pursuing. Thats the strategy

@damanaki @nature_org Yes it can but we need first to define tourism and better segment travelers
