Singapore – Singapore hopes to start “cruises anywhere” before reviving its coronavirus-affected tourism industry, but critics warned Monday of a dangerous move that could cause Covid-19 outbreaks.
But the Singapore Tourist Office, Asia’s main port and shipping hub, talks to cruise lines about organizing trips to and from the city-state.
However, Marcie Keever, director of Friends of the Earth’s ocean and ship program, warned of “Covid’s outbreaks” on cruise ships.
“The cruise industry has contributed to Covid’s epidemics in several ports around the world,” he told the AFP.
He also warned of the environmental effect of the resumption of cruise ships.
Last week, Singapore Airlines abandoned a plan to free “flights to nowhere” from its government-affected finances following a protest over the impact of the weather.

Singapore has noticed outbreaks of viruses in overcrowded dormitories that house low-wage migrant workers, but have now largely been controlled.
