Over the last few years, The World Tourism Organization became highly concerned about mass tourism in some countries and how it destroyed the nature and disturbed the ecosystem. <br />In some cities like Venice, tourism has such a negative impact that inhabitants manifested multiple times against the number of tourists. <br />Some actions have been taken in the past to reduce or to spread tourists over the year but with no great results. <br />Covid-19 as dreadful it is for the economics, it's actually beneficial to the tourism industry by reducing considerably number of tourists in the most famous sites. <br />The city of Lourdes, France, known to be the third pilgrimage town in the world, faced the Coronavirus crisis with the first ever e-pilgrimage. <br />The virtual event was a 15 hours marathon with online animations and was a huge success. <br />In Thailand, the closing of touristic sites allows the ecosystem to regenerate itself and to bring back wildlife to the sites. <br />The authorities witnessing such great results decided then to close parks and other sites each year for at least 2 to 4 months for conservation purposes. <br />Covid-19 crisis forced to adopt extraordinary measures that would never have been possible before the crisis. <br />Even though the tourism industry suffers from the crisis, it brings positive outcomes in the long run as The Conversation fairly points.
