The new crown pneumonia epidemic in Hong Kong has stabilized, and the Hong Kong government is discussing "tourism bubble" measures with 11 countries.

The concept of "tourism bubble" originated in New Zealand and Australia. It was called the "Trans-Tasman Sea Tourism Bubble" project, which resumed communication between citizens of the two countries without isolation or testing. It was originally planned to be launched in early September. The monthly outbreak of the epidemic made the plan temporarily shelved.

The three Baltic countries, which implemented the "tourism bubble" as early as mid-May, deliberately terminated their plans last Monday due to repeated epidemics in recent months.

Tourism bubbles: Europe seems to be a place where tourism is expected to restart. On May 15th, Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania began to introduce the concept of "tourism bubbles". Later in the same month, Hungary and Slovenia also formed their "tourism bubbles." .

The new crown pneumonia epidemic is raging around the world, and countries have "closed customs" to control the epidemic, which has caused a major blow to the tourism industry.

In order to gradually revive the economy, in May this year, Australia and New Zealand (New Zealand) proposed to establish a "tourism bubble" to restore free communication between the people of the two countries without quarantine or testing. It will be implemented as soon as early September.

However, the outbreak of an epidemic in Victoria, Australia in early August put the plan on hold.

Tourism bubbles: New Zealand and Australia caught the attention of the outside world in May because they were the first countries to negotiate a "tourism bubble". The "Trans-Tasman Tourism Bubble" program allows citizens of the two countries to travel between the two places without having to Accept quarantine or testing.

They were originally intended to be implemented in September, but due to an outbreak in Victoria, Australia in early August, the plan has been put on hold.

Three Baltic countries remain open

In Europe, the three Baltic countries, Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania established a "tourism bubble" as early as mid-May, and the three countries opened their borders to each other.

The number of confirmed cases in Lithuania and Estonia has increased sharply in recent months. As of today, the two countries have added 684 cases in the past 14 days; Latvia has added 92 cases.

According to foreign media reports, the Latvian authorities once deliberately stopped the "tourist bubble" and imposed quarantine on the people of the other two countries. In the end, they considered that the local epidemic was still under control and there were no suspension measures. However, they will conduct regular weekly reviews based on the epidemic.

EU countries have also gradually formed larger "tourism bubbles", setting up web pages to set travel measures between countries. For example, in early July, the United Kingdom opened its borders to nearby countries with low epidemic risk such as France, Italy, and Spain.

However, a few weeks after the implementation of the measures, due to the successive rebounds of the epidemics in Spain, France, the Netherlands and other countries, the UK has rushed to reset quarantine measures to these countries.
