The unexpected outbreak of the Covid 19 pandemic last year changed all of our worlds. People were forced to stay inside their houses, confined to four walls, and exist within there. As a result, the Travel Industry collapsed as everyone was in their house, no flights were boarded and no hotels were booked. However as things are gradually improving, we cannot help but wonder what Travelling After Pandemic is going to look like. It is essential to not forget that Covid still exists, but not that severely.
One of the most important things to do before you get to the airplanes is to get yourself vaccinated. Almost all countries have imposed restrictions on not allowing anyone who is not fully vaccinated to enter their domain. This also includes documentation like a recent RTPCR report to be carried with a tourist before being let off at airports so as to gain assurance on the fact one is not carrying the virus with them.
While “safe lanes” and “air corridors” between nations that have eliminated or controlled the coronavirus are under discussion, these may take time to come to fruition. “In principle, they sound like really good ideas, but putting them into effect is actually not that simple,” Hardy says. “You need to have trust in the healthcare systems of the respective countries, protocols in place, border control both into and out of the country, testing in place and some sort of mechanism to track individuals.” (sic : http://www.bbc.com/storyworks/travel/travel-on/the-new-normal-travel-in-the-covid-19-world)
Another noticeable trend could be of going around in small groups rather than large ones to reduce the risk of mass transmission. People will prefer to be with a limited number of travel partners, that too close people to take care of each other in case either falls sick. Falling sick in itself will manifest it into a taboo state as even a simple cold can cause the apprehensive possibility of getting the Virus.
Everyone is going to become more aware, responsible, and organized with masks, sanitizers, hygiene evaluation, and ensuring their own well-being in large collected crowds. Travelers will take on the role of “concerned citizens” demanding responsible travel policies. The industry will respond with active measures to prioritize a healthy world over profit margins. Therefore while traveling, do not forget to check your airline’s or local health authority’s guidelines on what masks to wear when traveling (CDC, NHS, what have you).
Some of these countries might even require one to quarantine themselves for a few days before stepping out. Such changes have transformed how we used to plan trips, it is now turning into a much more thoughtful process to gain substantial experience in a limited time frame. International destinations, for now, are also highly dependent on bilateral bubble agreements (An air-bubble pact between two countries means that special international flights can be operated by their airlines between their territories).
There are even guidelines and rules for tourist places, restaurants, parks, etc that can modify the traveling experience that you have been wishing to receive. Hence it is important once goes with a flexible mindset about how situations can change in a nick of seconds. Make sure you eat healthy food throughout the trip to retain immunity, pack all essentials, and also a few dry snacks in case you are unable to access these in case of sudden outbreaks or any other similar setback to your plans. Preparedness and acceptance of things in case they go a bit downhill are the best attitudes to carry with oneself on the vacation. For a major part, things will fall into place smoothly with the new world, however, it is best to take precautions at every possible moment.
Now before you pick a destination to travel to and finalize your plans, here are some questions you should ask yourself:
