Hotels were free to operate if they had guests. Of course, the Barbados Lockdown put a halt to most operations but long-term stays continued to operate with guests self-quarantining in their respective accommodation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Naturally, tourism shut down as the airlines stopped flying. During that  time, Barbados began the process of rebuilding for the future. Protocols and standards were established for accommodation, restaurants and tourism activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">List of Hotels Open &amp; COVID- Approved<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The COVID-19 protocols imposed conditions that tourism entities had to meet and the process of approving properties was set up in 2 phases. The first phase saw 15 hotels open and approved as meeting the new standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Opening is a two way street and while the government was keen to open slowly, it is also true that many hotel also preferred to wait and see how it went. At the same time some hotels are now hosting guest, even though they are not on the BHTA list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Luxury Hotels<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a

class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hotels Open Now &amp; Opening Soon<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Another 40 resorts are expected to be approved before the end of the year. All those shown above are COVID-approved members of the Barbados Hotel &amp; Tourism Association (BHTA). Many hotels have not opened at this stage but are coming on stream as we speak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sandals plans to open on September 9. Others that have indicated they will open soon are:  <a href=\"https:\/\/personaholidays.com\/accommodation\/hotels\/Bougainvillea-Barbados\/124\/\">Bougainvillea Beach Resort<\/a>, the <a href=\"https:\/\/personaholidays.com\/accommodation\/hotels\/Beach-View-Hotel\/197\/\">Beach View Hotel<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/personaholidays.com\/accommodation\/hotels\/The-Abidah-By-Accra\/240\/\">The Abidah &#8211; All Inclusive<\/a> by <a href=\"https:\/\/personaholidays.com\/accommodation\/hotels\/Accra-Beach-Hotel---Spa\/1\/\">Accra<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The list reflects the BHTA-approved properties as of July, 2020. It is a work in progress and is never the complete picture at any given time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tourism Curtailed by Caution &amp; Limited Flights<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Senator Rudy Grant, CEO of the BHTA, says that the reality of opening is dependent on airlift and the state of the virus in the country of origin. &#8220;The airlift is approximately 5% of  what is was this time last year. Hotel occupancy is just 6% and revenue has dropped by 96%.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All the data shows that people are starting to fly again but the majority are staying close to home. The New York Times confirms that over 800,000 US passengers took flights across the country on August 16.

If anyone is infected, not only are those close to them exposed but each of those exposed are at risk and must be monitored and quarantined on arrival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A study by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology suggested that the chance of getting infected in-flight is very low. It concluded that passengers are protected by the barrier of the seat backs, the in-flight air purification systems and masks. These all help to minimize contagion. On a &#8220;fully loaded flight, the chance of contracting COVID-19 was one in 4,300. If the middle seat is empty, the risk falls to one in 7,700.&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2020\/08\/20\/travel\/airplanes-coronavirus.html?campaign_id=24&amp;emc=edit_tl_20200822&amp;instance_id=21520&amp;nl=travel-dispatch&amp;regi_id=63617254&amp;segment_id=36764&amp;te=1&amp;user_id=4937cefed0941c896f542e8714a6e7a5\">Source: NYT<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Barbados Air Travel Transmission Experience<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/barbados.org\/blog\/barbados-tourism-revival\/\">Barbados Air Travel Arrivals<\/a> are painstakingly tracked, monitored and tested. Of the 157 cases of passenger-related spread, the numbers are fairly evenly distributed across all countries of origin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Canada 16 |UK 68 |USA 75 | Caribbean 33| Transit 4 | N\/A 70*|<br>Charter 2 | 281 Passengers | Total <\/strong>+all prior to re-opening<strong> 395\u00a0i<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/barbados.org\/blog\/barbados-tourism-revival\"><strong>Get Details at Tourism Revival<\/strong><\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What is clear now is that the new cases are all related to flights coming in. Some have tested negative before the flight or on arrival and subsequently tested positive during the 2 week quarantine periods. This may indicate that the virus may have been transmitted in flight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More data is needed to validate that conclusion as it may well be that those infected were asymptomatic carriers who were exposed to the virus prior to the flight. In addition some may have been effected while in quarantine, although this is not likely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Barbados Covid tracking team have done a masterful job of monitoring and isolating cases to avoid addition spread.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Video &#8211; Hotels Open &amp; State of Air Travel Today<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The video sums up the key points of the blog.
