Finding Silver Linings in a COVID-Affected Tourism World
3 weeks ago
It’s difficult to draw many positives out of the COVID-19 situation, particularly for tourism businesses who have been impacted negatively by the virus and the travel restrictions which have come into place to stem its spread. But the team at Kiroro Resort, in Hokkaido, Japan, are looking for silver linings.
“Without trivializing the seriousness of COVID-19 or undermining the grief suffered by those who’ve lost loved ones or been personally affected,” says Kiroro Resort’s Vice President Martin Raich, “We are making it a focus to be grateful and to celebrate the few positives that have emerged over the past 12 months.”
