40% of GDP from tourism. So in a perfect world now it would be time for the government to take that saved tourism money and support their citizens so they survive/stay until the next tourist season. Or borrow money from other nations to do so.

And is it really sane to stay 100% covid free? I mean I would assume that when tourism starts up again it will start a wave of covid infections in these countries.

40% seems very high. Is that a worldwide average?

I found that it is around 10%: https://www.statista.com/statistics/1099933/travel-and-touri...
