How much impact will the epidemic have on the tourism industry?

It has been very difficult for many companies in many industries over the past three years due to the epidemic, especially for small companies in the catering and tourism industries. Their income has been significantly affected, and their business volume has dropped sharply to the point where they are completely empty. , It is really impossible to survive the epidemic, and many people have fallen before the darkest dawn. But there are some companies and some bosses who are still holding on.

I know a friend who works in the tourism industry. In the past three years, he has basically relied on his old job to make a living. Of course, he also takes on some side jobs. He is the owner of a travel agency and a tour guide. However, due to the epidemic, there were no tourists at all. He only engages in some side jobs such as live streaming and selling goods. This is a brand new field. He is relatively unfamiliar with it, but he has also learned a lot. In order to find customers and sources of goods, he rushes around every day. And due to the epidemic, he has no way to return to his country. It is more convenient to travel abroad. The monthly income is still considerable, but people are very tired and even fall ill due to overwork.

In special times, some people have seized the opportunity to enter special industries and made a lot of money. For example, there is a friend who started the mask industry very early because he seized the opportunity and made a lot of money. Tens of millions, even conservatively estimated to be hundreds of millions. Sold a lot of masks to European and American countries. Therefore, he is also one of the people who have seized the dividends of the times.
