OPINION: New normal  without planning means chaos

Some aspects of the process of normalization of the economic activities of the country seem improvised since there are inconsistencies that prevent its full reopening. You cannot ask the entire population for strict hygiene measures when we know that there are entire populations that lack drinking water service 24 hours a day. In the same way, tourist activity will not be able to return to normal if there are factors that prevent it. What is more, some components of this industry depend on others, such as international flights, for example, whose normalization depends on the demand for the service. Without demand, the hotel sector – among others – will have problems, in addition to those it already faces due to various existing restrictions, such as confinement on Sundays or the impediment to go to the beaches, especially in the interior, where there are dedicated hotels, whose reopening will not be possible with these prohibitions, since, even if they do, there will be no demand because tourists cannot go out on Sunday or go to the beach. The government must be consistent, the new normal depends on it. Without planning, the return will be chaotic. – LA PRENSA, Oct. 12
