COVID-19 crushes Nova Scotia’s tourism season | CBC News:
Revenues down from $2.6 billion to $900 million
Like a
lot of tourism operators, Haverstock and his wife had to refund
reservations and now find themselves deeply in debt and high on

Scotia’s most lucrative sectors are trying to figure out how to — or if
they even can — adjust to a tourism industry that’s seen droves of
potential clients sidelined by COVID-19 and the disease’s related
effects on travel.

business and convention travel dried up, airline traffic all but
disappeared and anyone from outside Atlantic Canada who wants to come
here must spend their first 14 days in quarantine. The effects have been
dire.
