will tourism end ,,,
i was talking with a friend that was on holiday here for two weeks ,,and now that most countries require a pcr certificate to enter ,, he explained that it would now cost him an extra 500 pounds to go back as he and his family needed to be tested before being allowed to cross the borders as they are driving ,,,and the pcr test rules are that it has to have been done within 72 hours of travelling ..
so if you decide to go on a holiday that lasts for more than 4 days then you will need a test to go and then a test to return and for a family of 5 that works out at an extra 1000 pounds on top of your holidays costs ,,,
so i can not see many families taking holidays outside of their own countries in the very near future ,,,

I cannot see either why people still feel the need to go on holiday - not only because of the cost - but also with all the hassle and, maybe, the risk of catching the virus???
Although They're making it harder and harder to travel, I still don't think the restrictions are enough!
What don't they just close the borders like they did last March and get it done and over with???
We just cannot go back to a "normal " life as long as travelling is allowed!
... unless they believe it's worth dying for. You have heard of "degrees of separation?" Pretty soon everybody will know somebody who died from this plague or got frightenly sick.
I think more countries will do the same until the virus is under better control.
and many countries will suffer great hardship to loss of tourism ,,
Did the Vierk really say all that?
We can apply for the vaccine online (if we want to - it's not obligatory) and I plan to, I just don't know which vaccine to chose.
I should do it soon, although I will probably not get the vaccine before late spring/early summer (I'm not a priority).
And I don't feel the need to travel, nor the energy to do so anyway. Too much hassle!
A daft one entirely, but ever think we weren't meant to mix?
If we hadn't, each race and culture had stood/stayed on their own ground, would this virus of been easier to control?
Of course it would of been..JMO
Just because you/ people don't need to travel and therefore want to ban it again I think is very selfish. I personally think that if you refuse to have the vaccine then you shouldn't be allowed entry into any other Countries. Boot on the other foot comes to mind
Nevetheless, my thought is worth a think
Just a "general comment"
but i must have been born a nomad in a previous life ,,,hence my need to travel ,,,,,and learn from other cultures ,,,,but never to laze by a pool nor sit all day on a beach ....
Ensuring you are safe to travel with a vaccination is no different to only being allowed to travel with a valid passport.
It is not discrimination, it is a safety rule, same as wearing a seatbelt when taking off in a plane.
