The package part of that would put me off. I would hope that's not the only way to go to CM. Forced money raking packages are a big turn off.

Yes, locals don't see much from package deals. That's mostly scooped up by large companies.

And don't make me laugh   80% ready? They surely mean 80% empty and closed!

I'm not complaining, because I'd rather be safe. But except for if you like to visit temples, there's little to come for. Just empty streets and empty premises. And rainy season!

Get those jabs going and stop waffling about everything else until 2 weeks after 70% have had two shots.

October sounds about right to me for opening. Surely by October 2022 things will be ok to open up again for real tourism
