هن World Tourism Network (WTN) had an initial discussion yesterday on how to respond to the emerging situation with the new Omicron virus, and how to respond.
Southern Africa had been labeled as a dangerous region because of the new COVID strain Omicron, according to alerts from the World Health Organization, when in fact this new variant was already spreading in many countries of the world.
This is now resulting in losses and disappointments, and is threatening jobs and the recovery of the travel and tourism industry, specifically in Southern Africa.
This action resulted in isolating Southern Africa from the rest of the world. It got members of the افريقي سياحت بورڊ angry, and heated remarks are now constantly being posted to the ATB Member WhatsApp group.
هن World Tourism Network took this opportunity and invited WTN ايگزيڪيوٽو ڊاڪٽر والٽر ميزمبي, who was a former foreign minister and Minister of Tourism for Zimbabwe, as well as a candidate for UNWTO Secretary General. He explained the sentiments, a way forward, and shared his experience.
Also from Africa, Joseph Kafunda, the Chairperson of the Emerging Tourism Enterprise Association in Namibia, Tourism Hero award recipient, and Ambassador for the World Tourism Network, gave his observation on this issue.
پاران چڪاس ڪيو ويو Dr. Peter Tarlow (USA) President of WTN and a known international expert on travel and tourism, listened and commented on input from WTN members in Jamaica, Canada, the USA, Germany, and other countries.
