The explosion of mass tourism has allowed many people to visit new places without learning about the local culture or language. Many tourists only meet locals when cleaning hotel rooms. 16 months of closure because of the Covid-19 pandemic has caused the tourism industry to suffer. However, this huge industry that holds hundreds of millions of jobs is not going to collapse. It will return with the hope of changing in a sustainable direction, for the better, South China Morning Post identify. Karon Beach in Phuket (Thailand) is deserted on September 30, 2020. Photo: SCMP. Report of World Travel and Tourism Council in September 2020 identified four major changes in the future of tourism: travel demand, health and hygiene concerns, digitalization trends, and sustainability. In terms of demand, visitors will shift to prefer things that are familiar, predictable and reliable, which means local tourism is boosted. That will be evident in major countries with solid tourism foundations such as the US, European countries, Japan and China. International tourists will pay more attention to local characteristics instead of rushing to any place containing the combination of “blue sea, white sand, golden sunshine”. Airline packages will become obsolete. Health and hygiene concerns do not stop at temporary levels. Attending events, especially indoor and crowded ones, is challenging. The pandemic has made foreign travel dangerous, especially for developing countries with weak health infrastructures. The cumbersome administrative procedures to check visitors during the epidemic season will hinder this demand. The trend of digitalization in tourism will interfere and influence in two opposite directions. On the one hand, social networks will help plan trips without human contact and reduce dependence on travel agencies. On the other hand, the need for reliable sources of information can also strengthen the role of travel agencies. In addition, digitalization will also raise concerns about data privacy in international travel. Finally and most importantly, sustainability is effectively addressed. Mass tourism has caused great harm to the environment, “polluting” the experience and enjoyment of trips. The beaches of Bali (Indonesia) or Boracay (Philippines) are much less attractive when filled with plastic waste and untreated sewage. Crowding along the Great Wall at the Badaling section with thousands of other hikers or queuing to conquer Everest lowers the excitement of the experience. The Chinese crowd the Great Wall as fears of an epidemic fade. Photo: CNN. Business trips will be limited but more purposeful, as deep knowledge of foreign markets and different cultures remains key to the success of international businesses. This affects the airline industry, but it’s not bad news. In the future, the tourism industry will probably still hold 330 million jobs and serve 1.5 billion people a year or even more. However, visitors will pay more attention to the local environment and culture. Small groups of traveling friends will be formed to replace crowded groups like “broken bees”.

They say the law’s wide scope of application could put foreign businesses in China in a big dilemma, as they could be caught between complying with foreign sanctions and the law. ban them from taking such measures. Chinese technology company Huawei. Photo of CPO MAGAZINE According to Article 12 of the law passed by the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress on June 10, organizations and individuals that enforce or support foreign sanctions can be brought to court and forced to must “stop the violation and pay compensation”. Lester Ross, a partner at Beijing-based law firm WilmerHale, said he was concerned the new law would force regulators to “reduce companies’ discretion in determining whether they want to do business with them.” With whom”. “If so, this could have a big impact, especially for financial institutions,” he said. Businesses that may be at risk include multinational fashion brands that have announced they will not use cotton from Xinjiang after being banned by the US over human rights concerns, or suppliers to telecommunications giant Huawei, which has been hit by US export restrictions. Observers say the new law establishes a clear legal foundation for regulations issued by the Commerce Department last year. These include so-called untrusted legal entities lists, which identify foreign agencies deemed to pose a threat to China’s national security or interests and subject them to measures such as fines, economic restrictions and visa restrictions for employees. In January, the ministry also introduced a “blocking regulation” that forces Chinese organizations and individuals to report whether they have encountered any restrictions from foreign governments with the risk of fines if not, and allow them to claim. Tian Feilong, PSG at Beihang University’s law school, who has participated in consultations on the new law, said the blocking regulation has affected compliance with certain US sanctions. “In China, for example, Huawei can sue Taiwanese semiconductor giant TSMC for economic damages and seek compensation for the consequences,” Tian said. “Our court may rule that TSMC loses and Huawei will have a domestic legal channel to protect its interests. In this case, TSMC will have to decide whether to honor the sanctions. US sanctions or respect anti-sanctions laws in China,” he added. Tian said a leadership group would be set up to coordinate and enforce anti-sanctions measures, including representatives from the ministries of commerce and foreign affairs and the National Development and Reform Commission. “Simply put, foreign companies participating in sanctions against China will lose the Chinese market. Many companies need to weigh their pros and cons, whether to choose sides in the market. the Chinese market or the US and European markets, and between Chinese law and foreign law,” he said.
