FREEDOM #116 Is Vuhan, China recovered from Covid19? Tourism 2019 vs 2020

Is Vuhan, China recovered from Covid19? I can share diagrams and icons with ups and downs to show you the real numbers but it is better to talk to Chinese entrepreneurs.

5 opinions:

"China is in normal now, restaurants are open here, but most of the companies are low turnover."

"Covid-19 is also still not gone in China, just not that bad as other countries."

"I'm also nearly facing loss of job."

"China situation is better now, so you can consider to come to China for better development."

"There are always some people find good living way even when the evironment is bad. Teach English."

Tourism 2019 vs 2020. - As we google for flight prices, we can easily see that a flight which was 650 euros before covid19, now its 360 euros (return ticket for 1 week). To most of the Asian countries...

Yellow Crane Tower, Vuhan

But its still dangerous. Code orange, code red and TV is loud about the virus. On TOP list is USA no.1, India no.2, Brazil no.3. Nowhere China.

In the beginning: "On 21 January, the Wuhan Culture and Tourism Bureau postponed a tourism promotion activity to the city's citizens. All qualified citizens was able to continue the qualification in the Bureau's next activity. On 23 January, the Bureau announced the temporary closing of museums, memorials, public libraries and cultural centers in Wuhan from 23 January to 8 February. All tour groups to and from Wuhan was canceled." (wikipedia)

"In January and February 2020, during the height of the epidemic in Wuhan, about 5 million people in China lost their jobs." (wikipedia)

But its end of october 2020 now. Its not over yet, but millions of people who lost their jobs want to work and travel. I personally not by plane but by train (4-5 hours in the train and watching the landscape. Best feeling.). Between 2 golves of Covid19 I visited my home country as tourist. Not only my grandmother but also other areas of the country, rivers, lakes, humps, montains. Only 6 days escaping from Covid19. 

Never ever have had any symptoms so it felt as being in heaven. Describing rivers, lakes, humps, montains as heaven is too sentimental. Maybe... 

But holiday is about being in the moment. So my advice if Covid19 is over for FOREVER. But really for FOREVER!! / Travel by train on your continent first.

Buy a 10-days-train-ticket and travel to 10 countries... Meet people, meet those people you met on Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram.

Take your family with you.
