… or perhaps international travel is still going to be a rare occurrence by late next year.
Currently NY lists people coming from 35 states that must undergo a 14-day quarantine.
Perhaps the real message is people in the USA will likely stay in the USA and people in Europe will stay in Europe. IBC goes first and any companies that want to come to a show that’s likely to be USA attended only can go (or maybe they have offices in the USA already that can equip the show).
Let’s stretch this further. Las Vegas may even be impractical next October. NYC economy is tanking, hotels are even housing the homeless, the city and state have one of the lowest COVID19 positive test rates. The west coast situation is strange with heat and fire no less. What does next year look like? Perhaps an NYC show can be done for less money than ever before and, for those who want to travel from Europe, it’s a shorter trip on a flight which some find risky. NYC may even be smaller than a Las Vegas show could be but it may be all the industry can sustain.
Not saying this will be the case but an “international” show in Las Vegas in April 2021 seems difficult.
