Can Italian tourism industry survive the pandemic?

Italy is emerging from its COVID-19 nightmare into what is usually its busiest season for tourism. The industry normally brings in 13 percent of the country’s $2 trillion GDP. But there is no normal this year, and most tourists are not coming -- sparking fears that the pandemic will cause lasting economic damage. Special correspondent Malcolm Brabant reports from Rimini, on Italy’s Adriatic Coast.
