Pandemia provoca perdas de US$ 320 bilhões para turismo mundial entre janeiro e maio


O número de turistas internacionais caiu 56%, em comparação com o mesmo período de 2019, o que significa 300 milhões a menos de passageiros. Visitantes da Disney de Paris, na França, usam máscara na reabertura dos parques em 15 de julho Charles Platiau/Reuters A pandemia e o confinamento em boa parte do mundo causaram perdas de US$ 320 bilhões para o turismo mundial entre janeiro e maio - apontam dados divulgados nesta terça-feira (28) pela Organização Mundial de Turismo (OMT). “É mais do que o triplo das perdas registradas no turismo internacional durante a crise econômica global de 2009”, afirmou esta agência da ONU com sede em Madri. Turismo na Espanha sofre golpe com aumento de casos de coronavírus Entre janeiro e maio, o número de turistas internacionais caiu 56%, em comparação com o mesmo período de 2019, o que significa 300 milhões a menos de passageiros. Apesar da recuperação tímida do turismo, especialmente no hemisfério norte, “o índice de confiança estabelecido pela OMT registra mínimos históricos”, acrescenta o comunicado. Entre os principais perigos para o setor, a OMT cita “o aumento do vírus e o risco de novos confinamentos”, além da situação de “ponto morto” na China e nos Estados Unidos, dois dos principais mercados provedores de turistas. No início de maio, esta agência previa uma queda entre 60% e 80% do número de turistas internacionais até 2020, com perdas associadas variando de US$ 910 bilhões a US$ 1,2 trilhão. A OMT alerta para a possível destruição “de 100 milhões a 120 milhões de empregos diretos” no setor.

Duke Kahanamoku reflects on surfing, Olympics, and old Hawaii in 1966 interview

Duke Kahanamoku is the most influential surfer of all time and is often hailed as the father of modern surfing. There is nearly no one questioning these titles. Recently, Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) Hawaii unveiled a never-before-seen interview with the legendary surfer and Olympic swimmer. In the 1966 episode of Pau Hana Years, a seminal Hawaii television program that aired on KHET-TV (now PBS Hawaii) for 16 years, running from 1966 until 1982, Bob Barker chats with Duke Kahanamoku, then 76. The conversation drifts from royal ancestry to Olympic lanes, from Hollywood sets to a surfboard shaped by hand, tracing the outline of a life that helped define modern surfing and Hawaii's public image in the 20th century. And if you know little about the man who dreamed of getting surfing into the Olympic Games, this is a precious piece of history. A name with history, worn casually The interview starts with Kahanamoku explaining that "Duke" is not a title but his giv...

The hydrodynamics of surfboard fins

Have you ever wondered why a surfboard fin looks like that? It is a single or a set of fixed blades or keels located under a board, near the tail, often no bigger than a hand. Yet that small surface is where much of the surfboard's behavior takes place. Speed, hold, looseness, and the feeling of control all trace back to how water moves around fins. The physics of surfboard fins falls under hydrodynamics, the study of how fluids behave in motion. So, according to science, they feature a shape designed to turn flowing water into several forces. Let's take a look at what's at stake when fins and water interact. Lift and the feeling of control One of the key variables in hydrodynamic terms involving surfboard fins is lift. When a surfer leans into a turn, the board tilts and the fins meet the water at an angle. The angle is enough to create a pressure difference between the two sides of the fin. Water speeds up on one side and slows on the other. The result is a sidewa...

How paddleboarding transforms your body and mind

Adventure is on our doorstep. With so many different bodies of water available to paddleboarders, from city canals to coastal routes, we can find adventure in places much closer to home than people might initially expect. According to the Canal and River Trust, 50 percent of people in England and Wales live within just eight kilometers of a canal or river, and eight million people live less than one kilometer away. I had lived within just a few kilometers of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal for years and never really explored it before stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) came into my life . The challenge created both a new perspective and a deeper love for where I lived and the areas which I passed through. On my coast-to-coast journey, I slept in my own bed for two nights as the route passed through my then hometown of Skipton, yet I felt I was on a grand journey of discovery. We are braver, stronger, and more resilient than we think. SUP not only helps us feel more connected to our va...
