Poll Results: Industry depends on inbound tourism

Last week we asked if tourism suppliers would be able to rebuild, despite provincial (and international) borders remaining closed.

The results were as follows:

  • No, we only cater for inbound tourists – global borders must open!

60%

  • Yes, we are ready and waiting to welcome locals!

22%

  • Maybe, we can at least recoup some revenue after months of being closed.

18%
