2021 - SECOND WEEK - SECOND SHOW 

So much news and so much blues. 

CV-19 still holding us all and our business in a strangle hold.

Different responses - different approaches and different impacts.

 

However -- POSITIVE signs of how reaction will cascade once more positive news arrives -- higher vaccinations, less cases, coming out of winter etc.. 

The light is back on in the tunnel!

 

Thank heavens for the Vaccine debate as without the multiple vaccine's options - our tomorrows would be very overcast indeed. 

Great respect and appreciation to all those dealing with direct frontline covid cases. 

• Industry Teamwork and Collaboration - an energetic exchange on why the industry MUST come together now and stop competing on various hygiene or sanitization score cards / criteria for awards and certain PR campaigns
• • We must hunker down as a Team and grow the cake together and then decide on the slices and sizes.. 
• Airports and Industry sectors need to be consistent and clear - then ensure competence and compliance so that consumers can see effective control.
• Testing still a debate - on departure / on arrival / levels of immunity, - how to demonstrate effectiveness?
• • IATA looking into best way forward
  • IATA Travel Pass
  • Should crews be deemed frontline critical worker staff and have access to vaccines?
  • Is the debate around who decides on who is a critical worker?
• Will there be a scenario of No Vaccine, No fly or No Vaccine no Restaurant/no theatre / no concert / no cruise etc? 
• • Differences of opinion / different motivations
• Options for some countries to allow visitors with vaccine to enter and support economies reliant on tourism whilst addressing internal infection rates and vaccine rollout.
• A little touch on politicians and references to types of virus
• Ridiculous repercussions in some areas to Brexit - the infamous ham sandwich..!! Is this necessary or even newsworthy. 

In addition, 

• Norwegian Canx long haul routes - more woes for LGW and especially regional airports in US
• Other industry threats :
• • Data breaches -- Always just another threat away!
  • Surveys and customer experience memory impact -- how will the consumer respond when business options / choices return i.e. refund policies
