Script:
"OXA Podcast, STAY UPDATED (Tourism in Oxapampa in Times of Pandemic:"
Introduction:
The host explains how the tourism situation in Oxapampa has been affected by the pandemic. She then goes on to describe how the local population began to handle the situation. For instance, she mentions that COVID-19 protocols were applied when making purchases, with products being disinfected for delivery. She also provides a definition of tourism and gives examples of tourist destinations such as the biosphere reserve, Yanachaga Chemillén, and the Shollet Forest, whose stories are narrated by locals from the area.
Thanks to the pandemic, as the second narrator points out, Oxapampa has become somber, with fewer people visiting compared to before. This decrease in tourism activity has had a very negative impact on their economy, leading to the closure of several businesses and the need to come up with new ones. This demonstrates that the local residents are innovative and adapt well to their circumstances."
Interview.
The host: How was the business before the pandemic?
Señor Fortunato: The business was doing exceptionally well before the pandemic. I can describe the beginning of the business and the outstanding performance that our pizzeria had before the pandemic.
The host: Next, we have our second question, which is about the measures that the pizzeria is taking or will take to ensure that customers can access the service with the best protection. Mr. Fortunato, could you please explain how these measures were implemented and why these changes were made?.
Señor Fortunato: Certainly. I can explain how we implemented these measures and the reasons behind these changes.
To conclude this section of the interview, Mr. Fortunato explains how the pandemic is affecting the economy of the citizens of Oxapampa.
Conclusion:
After the interview, the second narrator mentions that festivals like Selvamonos, where local music used to be heard, had to shut down. Many families in the area used to explore all of Oxapampa, but this couldn't continue due to the fragile and overwhelmed healthcare situation in the hospitals. As a community, they tried to take care of the city's health to the best of their abilities.Then, the first narrator poses a question to the air about what tourism will be like post-pandemic. The second narrator responds that the World Tourism Organization, in other countries, was applying specific protocols to ensure that these activities, which are the livelihood of many families in Oxapampa, can be resumed.A contrast between the pandemic and tourism is evident. They are essentially antithetical; tourism fosters interaction among people and culture, while the pandemic naturally generates distrust and isolation for self-preservation.
Finally, they mention the health measures that could be implemented in tourism businesses, such as maintaining distance between individuals.
