As we produce our last issue for 2020 (December 16), the Tourism Update team – Adele, Erin, Gwen and Linda – wish our readers and advertisers well over the coming festive season.

It has been a very challenging year for the industry but, as many have pointed out over the course of the year, also an opportunity to reset and reprioritise and focus on what’s truly important.

At Tourism Update we have never been prouder to be part of such a strong, resilient and innovative industry. From the ashes have arisen true heroes and heroines who worked non-stop to ensure the survival of the industry and to save lives – through extremely stringent, well-implemented health and safety protocols – while preserving livelihoods.

We are all aware that 2021 will be another tough year as we start rebuilding our sector but we are rebuilding on the strong foundations we laid this year.

Tourism Update’s first 2021 issue will appear on Tuesday, January 5. Stay strong and safe over the holidays.
