Nature tourism: the natural drug against COVID-19

We have been listening to the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC), which has worked together with the World Health Organization (WHO), revealing a series of global protocols for the bulk of the tourism industry.

These protocols lay the foundations for the measures that tourism entrepreneurs must carry out in the coming months – years – to receive tourists, normally in closed spaces such as hotels, airplanes or buses.

However, for the ecotourism sector, it seems that everything is going to become more bearable. They cannot demand so much from us, since in a “natural” way, our sustainable tourism has the necessary measures to avoid what it is about. AVOID:

Viral load

It's about "the more virus there is inside me, the more likely I will transmit it to you." This is very simple, if we go into a room where there is a swarm of bees, surely one of the thousands of bees in the swarm will end up stinging me. On the other hand, if I am in an open lavender field, where even if there are bees roaming around there, the risk of one stinging me is 0 in 1 million. We will be outdoors, with people who are probably healthy or, in the worst case, with a small viral load, and with masks on. Here the risk of contagion will be minimal, the same as in the lavender field.

Masks and hand sanitizer

There is nothing like going to the field and being sure that all the participants/people around you will have their masks on well and their hands clean. It is all you need.
A sunny environment, as Trump advised us, open and protected from germ-carrying aerosols. All life insurance.

Crowds

There is nothing like the freedom of the countryside and the infinite space we have in natural spaces, it is the so-called “natural distancing”. Here nothing and no one can say that there is no space to give us two meters of distance between the participants. You have it very easy!

“Natural drug”

It is more than proven that the countryside releases endorphins. Our body has defense mechanisms against stress. These chemicals, which transmit electrical signals through the nervous system, function similar to opiates.

They are a kind of “relief kit” which is used when a tense situation occurs.

The trick is to encourage its explosion in your brain to see the world with more positive eyes and thus improve your immune system from the damn COVID-19.

What to do then

With things clear on our part, the government needs to guide us like a shepherd of a flock of sheep. Information is power and we have it to think for ourselves.

Decide what nature experience It is the one that interests you the most to go out this summer to release endorphins without stopping.
