Good day and sorry for the late reply.
I would like to know the tourism employment status before covid and after.
It would be great if you can provide employment statistics for 2019 (before covid) and on 2020 (in the midst of covid) so I can have a comparison on how covid affected tourism employment due to tourism.
Thanks
