Impact of Pandemic & Geo-Political Risks on Tourism.pdfKritikaDutta4
Tourism plays an important role in many countries' economies. However, both the COVID-19 pandemic and increasing geo-political risks have significantly impacted the tourism industry. The pandemic led to strict travel restrictions and border closures, causing a 65% reduction in international tourist movement. It also negatively affected many livelihoods that depend on tourism. Meanwhile, rising geo-political tensions and conflicts like the war in Ukraine have caused volatility in economies and made some destinations seem less safe, reducing tourism. While travel is increasing as restrictions ease, challenges like high fuel prices, workforce shortages, and lack of confidence persist. International cooperation will be key to rebuilding the tourism sector.

IMPACT OF CORONA VIRUS ON THE TOURISM INDUSTRY OF UAE
1. INTRODUCTION
The COVID-19 pandemic and the steps taken to curtail its spread have a strong effect on the tourism market. According to the United Nations (UNWTO), in 2020 the COVID-19 pandemic would result in a 20 to 30 percent reduction of the tourism industry. This estimate is likely to be cautious for countries that rely on foreign tourists, as recent data on daily air traffic show a decrease of nearly 80% since January2020.
While several economic sectors are supposed to rebound as restrictive restrictions are removed, the pandemic has a longer-lasting effect on foreign tourism. This is primarily attributed to decreased consumer trust and the likelihood that the free migration of human beings would be limited longer. COVID-19 impact on tourism The link between Coronavirus (COVID-19) and News, Analysis and Resources The average recovery time for visitors to a destination was about 19 months in previous viral epidemics, according to World Travel and Tourism Commission (WTTC).
The rapid, severe and undoubtedly protracted downturn in the travel and tourism industry has forced international tourism countries to depend heavily on their finances. This involve the tiny developing island countries (SIDS), which are not only most fragile because they are heavily tourist-dependent but also because any shock of this size is challenging for tiny economies to cope with. On average, according to WTTC statistics, the tourism sector accounts for almost 30% of the SIDS gross domestic product (GDP). Of the Maldives, Seychelles, St. Kitts and Nevis and Grenada, this proportion is more than 50%. In general, travel and tourism raise around $30 billion annually in SIDS. A 25% decrease in tourism receipts would result in $7.4 billion or 7.3% decrease in GDP. The decline in certain SIDS may be considerably larger, hitting 16% on the Maldives and Seychelles.
The COVID-19 pandemic is projected to contribute, for several SIDS, to large levels of sales losses immediately without the requirement for an alternate source of foreign currency revenues to fund international debt and pay for imports.
Devastating economic consequences Countries can generally cope with economic storms through additional debt or by using foreign reserves that are available.
Nevertheless, access to global capital markets is becoming more restricting, particularly for small countries like SIDS, which are mostly hig.

Abstract: This Study focuses on the impact of Covid 19 Pandemic on Filipino passenger’s cruise intention. The
purpose of the study is to identify what are the factors affecting the passenger’s intention to cruise in reference to
the health protocols set by CLIA or Cruise Lines International Association. To identify whether these factors vary
depending on the respondents’ demographic profile, a 4-point Likert scale is used in the research questionnaire to
be answered by the target respondents which are Filipino who has cruise experience with the age range of 21 years
old and above. The research questionnaire determines if there are significant difference between the passenger’s
intention to cruise during pandemic and the respondents profile based on its variables. With a total of 97
respondents, the results show the respondent’s demographic profile and determine whether age, gender, marital
status, monthly income, educational attainment and number of cruise experience has significant differences in
passenger’s intention to cruise. The findings also suggest what strategies can be proposed to attract Filipino cruise
ship passengers amidst COVID-19. The study identified that the only demographic profile of respondents that
shows a significant difference in their intention to cruise are people of 21 – 27 years old on onboard procedure,
people who are married and post graduate degrees. The study also identified that health protocols set by cruise
industry like Embarkation & testing, Onboard procedures, Medical & public health response and Shore

Impact of COVID 19 on the Aviation Industry in Nigeriaijtsrd
This paper is a timely examination of the novel Corona Virus Covid 19 that is currently ravaging the entire world. The main objective of this research is to study the impact of this global pandemic on the aviation sector in Nigeria. The methodology adopted is basically qualitative, explorative and analytical in nature, involving the use of secondary data via journal publications, government official documents, health authorities’ data and internet materials. This due to the fact that the virus is novel and very recent. The study found out that the Covid 19 pandemic has thrown the entire global economic, political and social systems into turmoil. The Nigerian economy and aviation sector in particular, has been in a meltdown, which had been thrown into a huge crisis. Some of the negative impacts of the scourge on the Nigerian aviation industry include closure of airports and banning of flights, increasing industry debt profile, negative impact on tourism, increased competitive pricing and severe loss of jobs. In terms of future prognosis, it will be quite a while before the sector recovers and whenever it re opens, the most immediate visible change will be social distancing, touch less travel with passengers needing to be fit to travel. The turnaround time for local and international travels will increase as aircraft will be need to sanitize each time the planes land. Furthermore, there will be increased movement towards the digital space and most of the flight operations will be on digital platforms.

The Philippines is currently facing one of the greatest challenges to its economy with the implementation of containment measures brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic. The enhanced community quarantine (ECQ) imposed by President Duterte was extended to May 15 on areas deemed still at high risk that includes the National Capital Region and nearby provinces in central and southern Luzon, considered the major business hubs of the country. There is no definite date in sight yet for the lifting of the lockdown and opening up the economy, as the government focuses on containing the virus and bringing the infection rate to lower levels.

On Storytelling & Magic Realism in Rushdie’s Midnight’s Children, Shame, and ...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT: Salman Rushdie’s novels are humorous books about serious times. His cosmopolitanism and
hybrid identity allowed him access to multiple cultures, religions, languages, dialects, and various modes of
writing. His style is often classified as magic realism, blending the imaginary with the real. He draws
inspiration from both English literature and Indian classical sources. Throughout his works, there is a lineage of
‘bastards of history’, a carnival of shameful characters scrolling all along his works. Rushdie intertwines fiction
with reality, incorporating intertextual references to Western literature in his texts, and frequently employing
mythology to explore history. This paper focuses on Rushdie’s three novels: Midnight’s Children, Shame, and
Haroun and the Sea of Stories, analyzing his postmodern storytelling techniques that aim to explore human
vices and follies while offering socio-political criticism.

On Storytelling & Magic Realism in Rushdie’s Midnight’s Children, Shame, and ...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT: Salman Rushdie’s novels are humorous books about serious times. His cosmopolitanism and
hybrid identity allowed him access to multiple cultures, religions, languages, dialects, and various modes of
writing. His style is often classified as magic realism, blending the imaginary with the real. He draws
inspiration from both English literature and Indian classical sources. Throughout his works, there is a lineage of
‘bastards of history’, a carnival of shameful characters scrolling all along his works. Rushdie intertwines fiction
with reality, incorporating intertextual references to Western literature in his texts, and frequently employing
mythology to explore history. This paper focuses on Rushdie’s three novels: Midnight’s Children, Shame, and
Haroun and the Sea of Stories, analyzing his postmodern storytelling techniques that aim to explore human
vices and follies while offering socio-political criticism.

disseminating are critical challenges in the present day. This study aimed at identifying innovative technologies
that aid cybercrimes and can constitute threats to cybersecurity in North Central (Middle Belt) Nigeria covering
its six States and the FCT Abuja. A survey research design was adopted. The researchers employed the use of
Google form in administering the structured questionnaire. The instruments were faced validated by one expert
each from ICT and security. Cronbach Alpha reliability Coefficient was employed and achieved 0.83 level of
coefficient. The population of the study was 200, comprising 100 undergraduate students from computer science
and Computer/Robotics Education, 80 ICT instructors, technologists and lecturers in the University and
Technical Colleges in the Middle Belt Nigeria using innovative technologies for their daily jobs and 20 officers
of the crime agency such as: Independent Corrupt Practices Commission (ICPC) andEconomic and Financial
Crimes Commission (EFCC). Three research purposes and questions as well as the hypothesis guided the study
on Five (5) point Likert scale. Data collected were analyzed using mean and standard deviation for the three
research questions while three hypotheses were tested using t-test at 0.05 level of significance. Major findings
revealed that serious steps are needed to better secure the cybers against cybercrimes. Motivation, types, threats
and strategies for the prevention of cybercrimes were identified. The study recommends that government,
organizations and individuals should place emphasis on moral development, regular training of its employees,
regular update of software, use strong password, back up data and information, produce strong cybersecurity
policy, install antivirus soft and security surveillance (CCTV) in offices in order to safeguard its employees and

1. Despite the COVID era, Singapore-China air travel
has taken off again, though it may take time to
reach pre-COVID levels
The resumption of air travel between Singapore and China marks a significant step towards
recovery in the aviation industry. As countries around the world grapple with the ongoing
challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, the reopening of international borders signals a
return to some degree of normalcy. However, while the revival of these travel routes is cause for
optimism, it's important to acknowledge that the path to pre-pandemic levels of air travel may be
a gradual one.
The Easing of Travel Restrictions
Singapore and China have a long history of economic and cultural ties, making air travel
between the two countries a crucial link for both business and leisure travelers. When the
pandemic struck in early 2020, strict travel restrictions were imposed, leading to a virtual
standstill in international air travel.
In recent months, there has been a concerted effort to reopen these routes, driven by the
success of vaccination campaigns and the implementation of comprehensive health and safety
protocols. As a result, travelers can once again board flights between Singapore and major
Chinese cities like Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou.
Positive Signs and Challenges Ahead
The resumption of air travel between Singapore and China has brought several positive signs.
For one, it signifies the resilience and adaptability of the aviation industry, which has been
severely affected by the pandemic. Airlines and airports have implemented strict health and
safety measures to protect travelers, which include mandatory testing, contact tracing, and
enhanced cleaning procedures. These measures have instilled confidence among passengers
and helped reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission during air travel.
2. Additionally, the reopening of borders has rekindled hopes for the recovery of the tourism sector.
Singapore, in particular, is renowned for its vibrant tourism industry, attracting millions of visitors
annually. The return of Chinese tourists to the Lion City could provide a much-needed boost to
local businesses, including hotels, restaurants, and retailers.
However, it's essential to temper this optimism with an understanding of the challenges that lie
ahead. Air travel between Singapore and China may have resumed, but the industry is far from
reaching pre-pandemic heights. Several factors contribute to this gradual recovery.
Traveler Confidence and Changing Habits
The impact of the pandemic on traveler confidence cannot be underestimated. Many potential
passengers remain cautious about the risks associated with international travel, especially as
new variants of the virus continue to emerge. This caution may lead to reduced demand for
flights, particularly among leisure travelers.
Changing travel habits are also a significant consideration. The pandemic has forced many
individuals and businesses to adapt to remote working and virtual meetings. As a result, some
of the traditional reasons for air travel, such as in-person meetings and conferences, may see
lasting changes. While leisure travel may recover more quickly, the corporate travel segment
could take longer to rebound fully.
Government Policies and Regulations
Government policies and regulations play a critical role in the recovery of the aviation industry.
Travel restrictions, quarantine requirements, and entry conditions are subject to change based
on the evolving COVID-19 situation. A sudden resurgence of cases or the emergence of new
variants could lead to the reimposition of restrictions, which could disrupt travel plans and deter
passengers.
Moreover, the vaccination status of travelers and the recognition of vaccine certificates across
borders remain complex issues. Different countries have adopted varying approaches to
vaccination, creating challenges for international travelers who may not have received vaccines
that are recognized globally. Clear and standardized guidelines are essential to streamline
international travel.
3. Economic and Geopolitical Factors
Economic conditions and geopolitical tensions can also influence air travel. The recovery of the
aviation industry is closely tied to broader economic recovery, as people's willingness to spend
on travel is often linked to their financial stability. Geopolitical tensions between countries can
affect diplomatic relations and lead to shifts in travel patterns and restrictions.
The Road Ahead
In conclusion, the resumption of air travel between Singapore and China is undoubtedly a
positive development, signaling a step toward normalcy in a post-pandemic world. However, it's
important to manage expectations and acknowledge that the aviation industry's recovery may
be gradual.
The ongoing uncertainties related to the pandemic, traveler confidence, government policies,
and economic factors all play a role in shaping the trajectory of air travel. While the industry has
shown resilience and adaptability, it may take time before it reaches the levels of activity seen
before the pandemic.
Travelers, airlines, and governments must continue to work together to ensure the safe and
efficient operation of international flights. Clear communication, adherence to health and safety
measures, and flexibility in responding to changing conditions will be essential in navigating the
road ahead for air travel between Singapore and China. As we move forward, optimism should
be tempered with a realistic understanding of the challenges and uncertainties that lie ahead.
