The best way to slowly get the travel industry back moving is to start some slow trials with essential travelers first, before you open the flood gates to tourism.

Anyone who thinks this will last until Fall, I don't think you quite understand the magnitude of travel being completely halted for months, and lockdowns continuing. It just can't happen without entire industries and even countries failing, and with current measures in place across the world, things will start to look better in a couple weeks time once the US and most Europeans countries peak and numbers start to fall. Sure, some poor 3rd world countries will struggle with it ,and their bans may continue until a vaccine is approved, but most governments will be going stir crazy wanting to open up travel to essential travelers, people wanting to be with loved ones, business and work travelers. It will cause a lot of social unrest if things continue the way they are now for too long. Governments have to balance safety not only from a deadly disase, but also safety of people having financial security.
