What impact will the total solar eclipse have on the tourism economy?

The negative impact of this total solar eclipse will be concentrated in the following four aspects. One is the impact on nature. During a total solar eclipse, the brightness of the sky drops, roughly equivalent to that of a full moon night; the temperature drops sharply, by 15 to 20 degrees; and the humidity rises sharply, by about 40%. The solar wind caused by a total solar eclipse will also cause serious interference to the high-altitude ionosphere, affecting the normal operation of communication equipment. The second is the impact on society. A total solar eclipse will have a serious impact on transportation, aerial work, mobile communications, medical care, urban security and other fields. The third is the impact on people's psychology. Because the total solar eclipse is extremely spectacular and has a strong psychological impact on people, it will cause superstitious speculation and psychological panic among people who cannot understand the total solar eclipse scientifically. The fourth is the damage caused to human eyes by improper observation. There are two main factors that cause damage to the eyes due to improper observation of a solar eclipse: First, the strong light of the sun. Sunlight is 1 million times stronger than moonlight, so it cannot be viewed directly with the naked eye or using a telescope without light reduction equipment, otherwise it may easily cause retinal damage or even permanent blindness. The second is the sun's ultraviolet and infrared radiation. Ultraviolet rays and infrared rays cannot be felt by human eyes, and they cannot be filtered by ordinary sunglasses. Direct exposure of the eyes to ultraviolet rays and infrared rays for a long time will cause serious damage to the retina.
