There was a dramatic increase of travelers between 2016 to 2019.  We can see that the most popular place to visit and the country earning the most income from tourism are not related.

Many countries, including Japan, are suffering from the lack of  tourism due to COVID -19. Revenue is decreasing dramatically. However, we have to avoid infection. The current situation is too serious.

43% of tourism workers have lost their jobs in Japan. Japan started to use hotels as a workplace and basic hospital for mildly infected people, but it is  possible that there will be an increase in the number of homelessness because of this.

In Hawaii, the unemployment rate soared to 37% in March and the number of bankruptcy filings will increase next year. From October 15th, they started to accept tourists with an app, Safe travels.

As a solution to this problem, we will introduce a new donation program, which enables tourist sites to receive funding and users to get specialty goods in return.

We focused on tourism in Japan. In this video, we introduced the  background, current situation, future problems and solutions.

Before the pandemic of COVID-19, tourism was an important industry of Japan.

For example, 89.3% of tourists decreased in Kyoto because of COVID-19. To support their work, the Japanese government started the “Go To Travel Campaign”.

Some companies or hotels could return to normal after the government declared a National Emergency, but others went bankrupt before the campaign started.

By researching, 84% people in Japan want to use this campaign after COVID-19 pandemic disappears.

We thought about the cases before and after a vaccine is ready. Also, we compared the advantages and the disadvantages of each case.

Based on these, we thought about which solutions would be able to improve Japanese economy.

Our topic is tourism in Japan. The tourism industry here is in danger.  For example, there are many unemployed people in Kyoto, a major tourist destination in Japan. Many companies have difficult problems. The tourism industry is involved in other industries and many people’s lives around the world. People should pay attention to domestic travel. The Japanese government made a “Go To Travel Campaign” to improve the domestic tourism industry.The Japanese government is promoting regional revitalization to solve the problem of decreasing population in regions and tourism is the important point of regional revitalization. One of our solutions is ”Workation”. It is a combination of work and vacation. It can avoid the “Three Cs” - Closed spaces, Crowded places, Close-contact settings.

The coronavirus pandemic is now spreading all over the world. The inequality that has existed even before the COVID-19 situation is becoming a bigger problem now. According to research from the Centers for Disease Control, the poor and working poor are most vulnerable to COVID-19. It also insists states  that one-third of those hospitalized were Blacks. Racism is though to be a foctor. The working poor are more likely to be exposed to the contagious illness because they are more likely to have jobs in parts of the service sector that put them in close contact with the public.The gap occurs due to racism. That is because they are more likely to have jobs in parts of the service sector that put them in close contact with the public.There are a lot of things we can do in our everyday lives, such as share our thoughts on this problem and consider this problem  Let’s create a world where everyone can live comfortably.

Effects of COVID-19 on Poverty in the Philippines

# data[].attributes.body
The poor to the poorest of the world are those who are greatly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The most vulnerable are being strained as social services systems are exhausted during these times.  In response to this, the Philippine government, along with private and voluntary sectors, help the people get through this predicament. As soon as the lockdown took effect, the president signed into law an act that provides cash aids, subsidies, and other benefits to help the poor. Private and voluntary groups also offered their assistance during the pandemic.
Actions should be done by both the government and citizens. The people should be aware of existing problems concerning poverty. Well-off families should share their resources as much as possible by donating, providing jobs, and other forms of help to those who lack it. It is also equally important for the government to provide concrete solutions for those below the poverty line. Policies should cater the needs of the entire population, not the middle and upper class exclusively. The government should also be more transparent with their work and their handling of the pandemic

Corona virus crisis hit poor the hardest; leaves more people without income than pre-pandemic..
Nepal faces the risk of its nearly one third of population, who are just above the poverty line, could fall below the line due to the loss of livelihood caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. This issue has never been more critical than now after the exit from the lockdown, to curb the spread of this deadly virus.

Given the international travel restrictions and fall in discretionary disposable incomes worldwide, tourism receipts in Nepal are projected to decline by 60 percent in 2020 resulting in a loss of foreign currency earnings worth US$400 million. Similarly, the fall in remittances is likely to range between 15 and 20 percent this fscal year. The cumulative impact of trade, tourism and remittance shocks – as well as the negative economic externalities they trigger in allied sectors ¬¬¬¬– Nepal’s projected pre-COVID-19 GDP growth rate of 8.5 percent will plunge to well below 2.5 percent in 2019-2020, and severely constrain a rebound in 2020-2021.

Nepal is lagging behind even undeveloped world when it comes to poverty. However, not all hope is lost. Efforts of volunteers and non-profit organizations also have the potential to make a big difference, especially regarding the recent economic upturn. The government should come up with holistic approach to address multi-dimensional challenges arising while dealing with this pandemic.

As the uncertainty associated with COVID-19 looms large, an effective health intervention would be to train and devolve responsibility to primary health care providers to provide treatment, referral, follow-up, and mental health counseling, targeting those at high risk including pregnant women, children and elderly regardless of their economic conditions and social status..

Due to COVID-19 financial hardships among families threatens to roll back years of progress in reducing child poverty and to leave children deprived of essential services.

One possible estimation is that the number of children living below poverty line to go up 15% in Nepal.
To my surprise  poverty impacts of Covid-19  pandemic will hit the children hard. Children are highly vulnerable to even short periods of hunger and malnutrition.

Nepal it can be surmised that nearly 10 millions children are estimated to be poor and many more are facing multidimensional poverty.

spread of the pandemic, our economy is still heavily damaged by the virus. The effects hits the working class the hardest and it still take times to recover.

# data[].attributes.body
Our main topics are Covid-19 and poverty. The situation in Japan before the pandemic, the current situation, future problems, and solutions will be discussed in this presentation. Since 2011, the number of foreign tourists visiting Japan has increased year by year, greatly supporting the Japanese economy. However, the number of foreign visitors to Japan in 2020 is decreasing due to the coronavirus. This has hit Japanese companies hard. In addition, there are many homeless people who are at increased risk of being infected with the coronavirus in Japan. Now that the economy is not good, the number of homeless and unemployed people are increasing. Such people need help to lead a prosperous life. Therefore, those who can afford to live well, could create agents to donate money to the poor. It is believed that this is the best solution to support people affected by the coronavirus and bridge the gap between the rich and the poor.
