At present, there are many people who cannot easily enter the travel mode due to this corona vortex. Due to the fact that countries around the world are affected at the same time, the situation where they cannot move freely across countries continues.
Including them, the United Nations is calling for an opportunity to reexamine the way of safe and environmentally friendly "travel" because we are facing this pandemic.

It is said that one in ten people in the world is currently engaged in the tourism industry, and this pandemic has affected 100 to 120 million people involved in the tourism industry worldwide. Is out.

There are many industries that support New York City, but "sightseeing" is one of the industries that cannot be excluded. It is a sad reality that the number of foreign tourists has dropped sharply since mid-March, but the spots that are crowded with tourists every year are gradually reopening from this summer.

Following on from the MET (Metropolitan Museum of Art) introduced last time, this time we will show you the view from the Top of the Rock.
Top of the Rock, one of New York's leading observatories, is an observatory up to the upper floors (67th to 69th floors) of the GE Building in the Rockefeller Center.
Introducing three points of this observatory where you can touch the outside air ...

① There is no iron net fence!
Therefore, you can enjoy a superb view without obstructing your view.
② You can see the Empire State Building on the upper floors (same line of sight) ③ You can see the shape of Central Park clearly (before it gets dark)

Top of the Rock is currently working on the following measures to combat coronavirus infections.
・ Temperature measurement before entering the building ・ Masks are worn by the staff (all smile marks!)
・ Installation of hand sanitizers at each location ・ Elevator can accommodate up to 4 people per elevator to maintain social distance ・ To keep space, remove the bench on the 67th floor, change the arrangement of gift shop items ... Such.

New York is moving forward for safe and secure sightseeing!

This week's Grand Canyon.
The first photo is Mercer Point. The average tourist comes especially from California and the same Arizona, which are accessible by car.
The second photo is the tour bus parking lot. As you can see, only our van was stopped.
Many Grand Canyon tours depart and arrive in Las Vegas, but since tourists from far away have not yet arrived in Las Vegas, it seems that it will take time to revive the bus tour.
In the Grand Canyon National Park, it is compulsory to wear a mask both inside and outside the facility, but many general tourists who have not been informed of this are not wearing masks at the observatory. ..

Sporting events are gradually reviving in the United States, but there are still many unattended events. The Allegiant Stadium, which was completed this summer, seems to have a long way to go with the audience. On Monday night, September 21st, the first match was at the Allegiant Stadium, home to the NFL team Raiders, who moved to Las Vegas this year. The result was a big victory over the superior opponent, and more than 60,000 fans who were supposed to watch the game live at the stadium would have been excited by watching TV with an invalid ticket. In Japan, the admission limit of 5,000 people for events such as watching sports has disappeared, and people are gradually becoming able to enjoy live performances, but I hope that American entertainment will be able to enjoy live performances in the near future. Especially here in Las Vegas, it's the most important issue!

On Monday, September 21st, we held a tour of Death Valley National Park for the first time in more than half a year.
The guest is a couple living in New York who came to Las Vegas for a trip and enjoyed sightseeing in the Grand Canyon and Death Valley.
Since the summer vacation in the United States was over and it was a weekday, I could hardly see people anywhere in the national park.
The photo shows "BAD WATER", the most popular spot in Death Valley National Park, but as you can see, there was no car in the parking lot and it was reserved for us. In the second photo, I could always see the high mountains in front of me, but I couldn't see the mountains because the smoke came to Death Valley due to the large wildfire in California.
