Many have faced cancellations, while others proactively postponed trips to protect themselves and their clients — many of whom are older Americans. If the economy doesn’t recover rapidly enough, some guides may find themselves faced with an impossible choice: To persist or move out of the region altogether. Southerly has the story.
