Hong Kong and Singapore's principle agreement on air tourism bubbles. If passengers in the two places can meet the specified conditions, they can detect for 14 days instead of isolation.Hong Kongxin is also a highly open small economy with similar social conditions and development levels. The current epidemic is also similar to the situation of resistance. This agreement is the first time for both places and is of great significance.There are still many variables.As a concept, tourism bubbles are theoretically connected, but in the past few months of trial experience, almost none of them.The new epidemic in Hong Kong seems to be eased. In fact, there are community communication chains in the two places. The risk of rebounding of the epidemic cannot be underestimated. The tourist bubbles are easy to break. Hong Kong Xin joins hands to cross the river.It has been symbolized as a crisis.
The citizen industry is eager to reopen
The epidemic cannot be underestimated repeatedly
Hong Kong and neighboring areas have established tourist air bubbles to restore passenger exchanges. For a few months, the stairs have been heard. This time, Hong Kong's new two places have reached the principle agreement, and finally the first step is to take the first step.According to the agreement, passengers must meet a number of conditions in order to exempt the forced quarantine isolation for 14 days after the arrival, including the virus test of the two places 72 hours before departure and negatives in other countries and regions within 14 days.The governments of the two places will finalize various details in the next few weeks.
Hong Kong and Singapore are important financial and commercial hubs in the region. The people of the epidemic have been blocked for a long time and have a great impact on the economy. People in the two places love travel and cannot travel. Some citizens are really itchy.Earlier, some airlines in Singapore took the lead in launching a local aircraft river trip to the local landing. Hong Kong also had airlines to follow, and the air tickets were sold out, reflecting that many people really had their hearts.The Christmas and New Year holidays are approaching. If the new tourism bubbles in Hong Kong can take the lead, it is good news for citizens who are eager to travel outside. For the tourism industry and aviation industry in the two places, it is also a long drought. However, Or the illusion of the mirage, I still have to look at it. Excessive optimism thinks that Hongye is approaching, and it is possible to get greater disappointment.
The concept of tourist bubbles is to replace the exemption for 14 days of isolation with the results of the virus detection of mutual recognition.The level of Hong Kong and new places is closer in many aspects. The detection and mutual recognition are more likely to be successful. However, before traveling, passengers still have to spend a sum of money for virus detection.Limited, air tickets are likely to be more expensive than before the epidemic.It can be imagined that even if the new tourism bubbles of Hong Kong are the main matter, it is mainly based on business passengers and the necessary passengers that need to communicate. It has limited help to recovering the tourism industry. Besides, the newly reached by Hong Kong is only a principled agreement. There is no specific implementation time.Once the epidemic changes, it is planned to stop at any time.
In the autumn of the northern hemisphere, the European and American outbreaks have deteriorated. Half of the United States have a significant case of confirmed cases. Last week, more than 70,000 new cases were recorded in Europe.Also, it is necessary to resist resistance.In contrast, the epidemic in the new two places in Hong Kong is undoubtedly relatively controlled, but it is not ideal.In early April, the outbreak of the Singaporean dormitory outbreak. After half a year of fighting, it was not until Tuesday that the local zero infection was recorded for the first time.Increase cases.The situation in Hong Kong's anti -epidemic situation is actually similar. The third wave of epidemic has never really broken. Even if I have tried in recent days, they have recorded local zero confirmed diagnosis, but the virus is obviously lurking in the community.Essence
The epidemic is long -lasting, and coexisting with the epidemic is an objective need. However, the specific form of coexistence in different places and the epidemic can have a large difference. The gravitational capacity and the severity of the epidemic situation are the decisive factor.Taking the Mainland as an example, the authorities have established a high -efficiency and powerful immune mechanism. In the past six months, most areas across the country can maintain local clearing zero for a long time. Even if there are occasional cities, there are zero new cases.Can quickly extinguish.A certain extent in the Mainland has formed a large tourist bubble covering 1.4 billion people across the country. The Eleven National Day holidays have just passed. Hundreds of millions of people in the Mainland have traveled across provinces.Big.In contrast, the newly concluded tourism bubbles in Hong Kong are based on the same risk, and the nature is different from the zero new cases in the Mainland.
Hong Kong's newly successfully pressed local infection at a low level. However, it is still a question whether the two places have the ability to achieve basically clear zero.The virus is invincible. Even if there is only a small amount of transmission chain hidden community, a slight relaxation may rebound. It cannot directly draw the number of local infection levels.The concept of tourism bubbles proposed early this summer that it has become the hope of saving the tourism and aviation industry in many countries and regions. The Three Kingdoms of the Eastern European Baltic Sea took the lead in trial in May.All these attempts ended in failure.
Basically clear zero and not achieved
Travel bubbles failed to fail
Shortly after the trial of tourism bubbles in the Three Kingdoms of the Baltic Sea, it was stopped because of the epidemic, and it was still unable to recover. The Australian air bubbles have not been able to work because the Australian epidemic continues.The European Union opened on the basis of the same risks. As a result, the earth's epidemic was rising, and the multi -country epidemic turned sharply. The British government even ordered the 14 -day quarantine requirements because of the warehouse.Returning to the country before implementation.Of course, the failure of others does not mean that the new tourism bubbles in Hong Kong are incurable. However, the governments of the two places cross the river with stones. They must learn from the failure of others and act carefully. Citizens and the industry must also be alert to the risk of rebounding of epidemic.
