Bleak outlook for summer tourism – ZAWYA

Travel agents and tour operators are forecasting a grim tourism season this summer even though some countries around the world are starting to relax Covid-19 precautionary measures by welcoming holidaymakers.. Many of Bahrain's main tour operators have told the GDN that it feels like 'this summer is wasted and over'. ". "As a tour operator I see that the summer season is over and what we need to focus on is the coming seasons," he added.. Mr Al Kadhem highlighted that the realistic approach to the uncertain situation would be to prepare for future seasons following the summer season - which he said was 'over' for most tour operators.. His sentiments were shared by Dairy Travels partner and managing director Hussain Al Dairy, who said that a very limited number of enquiries about travel had been received and stressed that the situation remains 'mysterious'.. "We are praying that the situation returns to normal as soon as possible but this season is over from my point of view.".
