Sri Lanka must capture China digitally

Going by current global statistics on Covid-19, China is likely to be the largest and most stable tourism-generating market for some time, as western markets such as Europe and the US are staggering due to the pandemic. So it may make a lot of sense to have China as the main target market, instead of scattering your marketing efforts across the world, for the following reasons.

•China is the least affected by Covid among the world’s major tourism markets

•Almost every other major tourism market including the US, the UK, France, Germany, Italy, and Russia have been devastated

http://www.themorning.lk/sri-lanka-must-capture-china-digitally/

Ups, aber es erstaunt mich eigentlich nicht wirklich.

• China ist unter den wichtigsten Tourismusmärkten der Welt am wenigsten von Covid betroffen

• Fast jeder andere große Tourismusmarkt, einschließlich der USA, Großbritanniens, Frankreichs, Deutschlands, Italiens und Russlands, wurde zerstört.

Wie erfolgreich Deutschland mit der Pandemie umgegangen ist, kann man hier lesen:

Sorry, aber leben die Menschen dort hinterm Mond ? Werden sie nicht richtig informiert ? :roll:
 
China hat sich doch gut eingekauft in SL. Moderner Kolonialismus. Wie kann da der Freund des großen Reichs anderes reden? Ausserdem haben Chinesen auch heftig in große Hotels investiert. Mich wundert nichts mehr. Ob sich die Bevölkerung damit einverstanden erklärt mag ich nicht glauben. Denn die normalen Bürger leben eher vom Tourismus aus der EU und anderen Ländern. Die Frage woher der Virus kam und wo er wieder aufflammt scheint dem Schreiber auch egal zu sein.
