The fact of the matter is this, and hopefully it adds a little something to this discussion;

1) ultimately there is little we can do to off-set the immediate strain that these coming times will bring

2) times of stuggle and slow-down are a great point at which new ideas should be brought out in order to mitigate against future similar situations

3) no one is immune - ESPECIALLY if you are in the tourism business in any sort of degree

Now is the time to think of reasonable ways we can come together to make our businesses better in the future and to support each other when the tough times (oh and they will) hit.
