Car, they will be in direct contact with foreigners who have come to discover the hidden treasures of the Big Island. Even though heated debates arise on the international “validity” of Covishield injected into volunteers.

Secondly, groups of tourism stakeholders organize training to familiarize themselves with the health protocols imposed elsewhere. They are ready to submit to these new rules to reassure everyone.
