In an uncharacteristic response from an industry body which tend to be mellow in their take on government policies, the Federation of Associations in the Indian Tourism &amp; Hospitality (<keyword id="6389686" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="faith">FAITH</keyword>), said on Sunday that the Indian tourism industry has "gone into a state of disbelief and shock". This is the policy federation of all the national associations representing the complete tourism, travel and hospitality industry of India. <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="75790707" title="Lockdown 4.0 ⁠— India issues new guidelines allowing states to decide the red, green, and orange zones" mstype="2" mssubtype="0"></div> "The industry has gone numb from a lack of any umbrella direction from the government or without any fiscal &amp; monetary support," it said. The industry body said, "Indian Tourism industry goes into a state of shock and disbelief as there were no announcements to support tourism, 10 weeks of constant discussions come to a naught and industry has gone directionless". With no visibility of cash inflows the Indian tourism industry is now looking at large scale bankruptcies, business closures which will lead to job losses across cities, towns and hinterlands of India. This has the potential to set back the Indian tourism, travel and hospitality industry by many years, it said. The body said that the Indian tourism industry was looking forward to deep set of survival measures for tourism from the Rs 20 lakhs crore package announced over 5 days, which however were not addressed. The Indian tourism, travel and hospitality sector impacts almost 10 per cent of GDP through its direct and indirect impact. It has already seen over one quarter of accumulated losses which began from February onwards. There is no cash inflow expected for many quarters over FY20-21 as the key segments of the Indian tourism economy will be down. The international inbound tourists, inbound and VFR - (visiting friends and relatives) and the outbound travel will remain mostly non-performing due to international flight restrictions and tragic impact in most key markets tourism markets of India, the association said. "Domestic travel and corporate travel within the country may slightly ease up post lockdown but will be highly restricted due to fear of travel among elders and children, the new social distancing norms, corporate travel freeze and the closure of the holiday season which will impacting all leisure, adventure, heritage, spiritual, cruise and niche tourism segments," it said. The meetings incentives exhibitions &amp; events segment will be severely impacted due to the meeting size restrictions. Consequently all tourism service providers, the hotels, travel agents, tour operators tourist transporters, restaurants, guides will be compromised and the tourism industry of India will be operating with extreme under capacities making most tourism businesses unviable on a cash operating basis. To prevent this and to ensure survival, FAITH had proposed a dedicated interest and collateral free long term fund for paying salaries and operating costs and for a minimum of 12 months of complete waiver of fixed central &amp; state statutory and banking liabilities without any penal or compounding interest which have not been addressed. The proposed MSME fund with its many underlying restrictions may have a very limited usage. FAITH &amp; its ten member associations (ADTOI, ATOAI, FHRAI, HAI, IATO, ICPB, IHHA, ITTA, TAAI, TAFI) had been constantly dialoguing with all factions of the government over the past 10 weeks the PMO, ministries of Finance, Commerce , Aviation, and Tourism, with RBI, with all 28 Chief Ministers, Niti Aayog and with the Empowered Group 6. Indian tourism travel and hospitality impacts 10-12 per cent of India's employment which covers almost 5 crore plus direct and indirect jobs.

Less liberal rules will apply in Scotland and Wales.Here's what you will and won't be able to do under the new lockdown guidelines.<h2>Can I see family and friends from different households?</h2><div type="image" title="Regents Park London coronavirus lockdown" height="600" width="1200" msid="75674062" hostid="261"></div>As of Wednesday, any individual in England will be able to meet up with one other person from a different household — as long as it's in a park or outdoor space, and both individuals maintain a distance from each other of at least two metres.Curiously, Johnson didn't include this particular relaxation of the rules in his TV address on Sunday.However, a government source confirmed the change shortly before the address.They said: "The logical consequence of what we're doing in terms of adding unlimited exercise is that you could sit next to a single friend in the park but you'd have to be two metres apart — just one single person."This means people in England will be able to meet with relatives and friends, as long as it's one-by-one.There was confusion on Monday morning when First Secretary of State Dominic Raab claimed that an individual could meet with more than one person from a different household at a time under the new rules.However, a UK government spokesman later confirmed that this was not the case.The rules will not apply to meeting in gardens, which is still not allowed.The changes to the guidelines do not apply in Scotland and Wales, where previous restrictions still apply.<h2>Can I exercise as much as I want and play sports?</h2><div type="image" title="London park coronavirus lockdown sport" height="600" width="1200" msid="75674065" hostid="261"></div>Johnson on Sunday said that people in England would be able to exercise as much as they want under the updated rules.Previously, people were advised to do just one piece of exercise outdoors per day — though this was never put into law.From this week, they will be able to play certain sports — as long as it is only with members of their household.These include non-contact sports such as tennis and golf, with courts and courses across the country set to re-open this week. People will also be allowed to do angling and water sports, and swim in lakes and the sea.Gyms and swimming pools are set to be off-limits for the foreseeable future, however.Exercise restrictions have also been loosened in Scotland and Wales where people will be able to exercise more than once a day. However, golf courses and other sporting venues are not currently due to re-open.<h2>Can I travel long distances to exercise and meet relatives?</h2><div type="image" title="Lake District Windermere" height="600" width="1200" msid="75674069" hostid="261"></div>People will as of this week be able to drive to elsewhere in England to exercise and partake in leisure activity outdoors.Johnson in his TV address said "you can drive to other destinations."The new guidelines have caused criticism from some quarters with the chief executive of the Lake District national park on Sunday urging people not to flood the area and put it at risk of a new wave of infections.These new rules will not apply in Scotland and Wales where exercise and travel must remain within the local area.<h2>Should I go back to work if I can't do so from home?</h2><div type="image" title="construction" height="1000" width="2000" msid="75674073" hostid="261"></div>Johnson on Sunday night announced a "change of emphasis" regarding whether people should go to work.He said: "We now need to stress that anyone who can't work from home, for instance those in construction or manufacturing, should be actively encouraged to go to work."And we want it to be safe for you to get to work.So you should avoid public transport if at all possible – because we must and will maintain social distancing, and capacity will therefore be limited."So work from home if you can, but you should go to work if you can't work from home."Essentially, the prime minister said that if you're someone who cannot work from home — like a construction or manufacturing worker — then you are encouraged to go to your site of work.The change in messaging will not apply in Scotland with First Minister Nicola Sturgeon insisting that the advice to businesses in Scotland has not changed."I am not, at this stage, asking anybody who is not working to go back to work, although we have said we are looking, with priority, at the construction sector, the retail sector and the manufacturing sector," she <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-52605959">told BBC Scotland.</a>Johnson's announcement prompted concerned reaction from opposition politicians and business bosses, who warned that many workplaces were not safe for people to return to at such short notice.Labour Party leader Keir Starmer said: "The Prime Minister appears to be effectively telling millions of people to go back to work without a clear plan for safety or clear guidance as to how to get there without using public transport."What the country wanted tonight was clarity and consensus, but we haven't got either of those."The UK government is expected to publish new social distancing guidelines for workplaces on Wednesday.Read the original article on <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/can-you-meet-family-and-friends-outdoors-uk-coronavirus-rules-2020-5">Business Insider</a>
