A Halifax business professor says action needs to be taken on an Atlantic travel bubble so struggling tourism operators hit hard by COVID-19 in Nova Scotia can immediately market themselves to tourists from around the province and region. How the travel bubble would workThe travel bubble idea, floated by premiers in New Brunswick and P.E.I. Nova Scotia Premier Stephen McNeil said Tuesday that Nova Scotia has yet to decide whether it will bubble with other Maritime provinces, but he said any plans should include Newfoundland and Labrador. "There are people that are willing to travel right now that would actually get on an airplane right now if that were permitted," he said, adding those people are typically younger. Dalhousie University professor Lorn Sheehan says spending on restaurants and travel is discretionary and could be down with so many people out of work during the pandemic.
