But will there be enough of the required / necessary equipment to go through with that plan as well? O**
(Same here, btw... I doubt that all those safety measures are really put into place. Quite cost intensive, too.)

Tourist self-responsibility will play a big part. :yes:

And with less room-cleaning and food-making money will be saved?

The new normal will be more likely tourists avoiding overseas travels :O^ or choosing destinations where they can leave a room or their rental car without wearing a mask and being checked every hour.

If that's what you think about European tourists, then South Africa and other African countries have to adjust their prices to the circumstances and cost level and stop asking sky-high prices, which only wealthy people can afford and Europe is not made up of only wealthy people.
