This guy probably just broke :TUV forever :(. So many tourists are going to go there now, and ruin the Tuvaluan's lives :(. I love stories of people being the only tourists in places, and honestly I wish I could afford to go on trips like this on a regular basis.

Tourists bring money, and in the end, every group of people likes that :p 

 

I don't think there's going to be a huge amount of tourists though, no worries.

 

Last, but definitely not least: everyone who hadn't even heard of Tuvalu really needs to watch more sports or get some more general knowledge. Come on, next thing you know people don't even know Nauru or Bhutan.

Moreover, if Tuvalu doesn't want a large number of tourists, don't give too many visas.

I don’t think they’re in charge of that. I think they’re in free association with New Zealand or Australia (and I could be wrong), but what that means is that either of those countries would be responsible for they’re foreign policy.

Nope. Schengen Area countries are those who are allowed to visit Tuvalu without visa, even Australia or NZ citizens need visa to go there

What I was saying is that they could be in free association with NZ or AUS, meaning that one of those two countries controls immigration. Tuvalu might have requested that Australians and Kiwis use visa for travel, to make sure there weren’t more tourists than the island could handle.

    • I am going to use this as evidence for my belief that the only way for baseball to continue growing is to increase the importance of International tournaments.   Because shocassing stars in those environments is how the MLB can grow their viewership abroad.
    • If this were Milan from 20 years ago, it would be a success but currently it`s just a European average team and on top of that it is not in top form. Milan's defense this season resembles Swiss cheese.
    • Bologna is unfortunately is a team for the Conference League, not the Champions League   Juventus are plagued by injuries and are struggling. On top of that they have a terrible schedule in the CL. In their case qualifying for the play-offs would be a success in this season but I'm not sure how many points they will need to do that. Actually they chave 8 points.
    • Four events with medals awarded halfway into the first day, and already six NOCs are on the medal table 
    • First day of sporting action today. There's livestreams available on the official website: https://www.bolivarianos2024.pe/envivo/   PanamSports Channel should be broadcasting events as well.
    • Pretty crazy, just imagine if they won the World Baseball Classic (though personally I equate the two pretty closely).
