South Pacific Tourism Organisation CEO: 'We're at ground zero'

South Pacific Tourism Organisation CEO Chris Cocker said individuals who are unemployed due to the decline in tourism "are now turning to farming" (RNZ, 10-Jul-2020). Mr Cocker continued: "We're at ground zero. This is unprecedented. It's particularly devastating for the Pacific countries whose GDPs are highly dependent on tourism" and noted the "larger and medium hotel chain operators will probably survive until the first quarter, but beyond that I don't know".
