TRAVEL – TOURISM: The coronavirus will hit the tourism and travel sector hard
Professor, Law and Economics of Tourism, University of Guelph
China’s tourism sector has been devastated by the latest coronavirus outbreak, but the impact is being felt around the world and in many industries
The spread of infectious diseases is invariably linked to travel. Today, tourism is a huge global business that accounts for 10.4 per cent of global Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and 10 per cent of global employment.
Nothing seems to slow its growth as year-over-year increases outpace the economy. The United Nations World Tourism Organization is predicting further growth of three per cent to four per cent in international tourist arrivals for 2020, with international departures worldwide particularly strong in the first quarter of this year.
But that was before a new coronavirus (formally known as 2019-nCoV) hit China and then very rapidly started spreading to the rest of the world with 20 countries and counting isolating cases. Continue reading

MOVIES: Parasite review – a gasp-inducing masterpiece wins Best Picture
In Bong Joon-ho’s flawless tragicomedy, a poor yet united family bluff their way into the lives of a wealthy Seoul household
The ideal way to experience South Korean auteur Bong Joon-ho’s awards-garlanded, international box-office smash is with as little prior knowledge as possible. So if you’re reading this before seeing the film, and you’ve managed to avoid the whirlwind of publicity it has attracted since winning the Palme d’Or last May, it may be simpler to just stop and head straight to the cinema.

BANKS DIH agrees; “Education is the Yardstick” – by Francis Quamina Farrier
One of my all-time favourite Guyanese songs is, “Pass it On” by the late celebrated Guyanese singer/songwriter Eddie Hooper, who hails from Fyrish on the lower Corentyne Coast, Region 6, Berbice. With lyrics in that song which state, “Education is the Yardstick”, one can say that Eddie Hooper’s song which was composed over fifty years ago, is as timely, relevant and forerunner to the present focus by the Government of Guyana, on the importance of having a well-educated Nation. Equally, BANKS DIH Ltd., has been very focused on supporting aspects of Education over the decades.
One of the ways in which the Company has been “Putting it’s money where it’s mouth is”, as the saying goes, is to make tangible financial donations to worthy and deserving candidates, as well as schools in Guyana on an annual basis. Financial Contributions are also made out of season, so to speak.
