That same phrase "turning on the tap again" was used at a regional development seminar I attended last week. In this case they were referring to Chinese tourists, students and investors; all of which have been throttled right back since the Covid-19 coronavirus took off. One way to help amelioration would be a major push across the East China Sea to ensure China will continue to be its single biggest tourism market. Until Covid-19 almost half of our foreign university students were from China, students that contributed over $5 billion of export dollars. They need to be thinking now how to re-engage the foreign student market and fight for market share with other countries.
