Excerpt from Conde Nast Traveller.
Going abroad will be challenging for unvaccinated people, but many parts of the planet will become more accessible in the years to come. Planning will be difficult because of the stop-start nature of country openings, who would have thought France would close its borders to the UK for a few weeks in January 2022, for example? We are living in an unpredictable era that requires high levels of contingency planning and travel insurance.
Consumers will be able to go ahead and get some trips in the diary as long as they are fully refundable and offer free date changes.
If you want to make more responsible choices, then you should pick a destination that relies heavily on tourism, as it will mean your money will go towards rebuilding their economy and giving locals desperately needed income. The trends defining travel are here.
1. There are destinations that are restricted-free.
International travel is about to become easier as countries relax their entry requirements, with booster programmes well underway in many parts of the world. Australia and New Zealand will soon reopen to tourists after being almost completely closed off for two years. In December of 2021, Fiji reopened its borders to international travellers so there are indications that this is the direction things are moving in. Vietnam began allowing outsiders with the restart of flights to the US at the end of last year.
2. The long-haul remake.
Long-haul flights are experiencing a revival, despite the fact that industry experts believe it will take at least another two years for global aviation to return to pre-pandemic levels. In line with the November 2021, restart of tourism for fully vaxxed travellers to the US, several airlines have been announcing new routes. British Airways from London to Portland, Finnair from Helsinki to Seattle, and Virgin Atlantic from London to Austin are included. Qantas flights from Australia to London and LA began in November of 2021.
3. Personal development retreats.
The last two years have been gloomy but as we emerge into the sunlight, many people will invest in self-improvement. Millions of people all over the world have been quitting their jobs and looking for new career paths in order to become more entrepreneurial. It makes sense that retreats like the Aerial BVI in the British Virgin Islands, which is an incubator for positive transformation, and the Heartbreak hotel in Norfolk, which helps women overcome love loss, are popping up around the globe.
