Some countries began to open borders slowly, and the tourism sector found new ways to ensure the movement of travelers, with tourism gradually returning after the outbreak of the Corona pandemic, and this is what it will look like for the rest of the year for travelers.
Writer Katie Machado - in a report published by the US website thetravel - says that with the return of travelers' confidence in airlines or even heading to land trips, many quickly discover how different the "new normal" is. From temperature tests to negative corona tests (the person is free of disease) to obtain approval to travel, potential travelers are now required to meet many conditions.
Safety cannot be fully guaranteed yet, but the tourism sector is making unremitting efforts to achieve a successful recovery, hoping that the safety measures currently in place will be sufficient to control the spread of the epidemic and encourage travel at the same time. The following is expected to change in the near future:
Stone, masks, sterilizer and heat test
Despite warning many times that temperature checks have become a routine procedure for airlines around the world, many people are still surprised about this when they enter the airport, especially since fever (high temperature) is one of the most common symptoms of infection with the Covid-19 virus, and it will not Anyone suffering from it is allowed to travel, even if the fever is of another reason.
Sterilization stations will remain around highly crowded airports and places of travel, including bus stations. Passengers are also encouraged to use it frequently and regularly, especially in areas where contact and contact with people is high.
Mandatory quarantine is still something travelers are not fully used to, so people who book their holidays are surprised when they are informed of it. The longest quarantine is 14 days, while in some countries it does not exceed a week or less. Either way, the quarantine will likely continue as part of the travel regime.
Travel of the older and younger generation
When it comes to generational gaps, travel is likely to be restricted to the younger age group for the foreseeable future. Experts speculate that this will happen naturally because the elderly at greatest risk do not choose to travel.
Those in the at-risk group are expected to postpone their future travel plans, or resort to domestic travel or road trips, as the risks are somewhat reduced using the appropriate protocol. And younger generations are likely to benefit from the travel deals, as well as finding time to adhere to quarantine and follow appropriate safety guidelines.
Travel, hobbies and nature
With a lot of time spent at home, hobby travel will become popular again. People will start picking vacations and taking day trips based on things that interest them, such as historical excursions or special interests like photography, hiking or camping.
And natural tourism is already booming with the increasing interest of people, as they head to camp to provide a much-needed getaway in this crisis. Interest in guided and remote road trips has also increased socially, as more people are looking for ways to explore areas that do not include crowds, public transport, or flights.
During the holidays
Travel to other countries is expected to continue to decline, at a time when people will continue to explore their local surroundings more in depth, and will also be interested in experiencing nearby places.
It has not been decided when the international travel industry will recover, as quarantine restrictions from each country also add complications to the potential holiday. Instead, local road trips, day trips, and weekend excursions will likely be the norm for some time to come.
