For months now we have been discussing the timing and methods of resuming tourism, in the form of an increase in domestic and local travel, in circumstances governed by very rigorous hygiene and safety regulations.
Trends still underway in various markets around the world, but what can we imagine in the long term?
What legacy will the Covid crisis leave in our lives Phone Number List and global travel habits? Let's hypothesize the possible future features of a holiday, starting from Skift's analysis .
A long-lasting legacy
Unlike a hurricane, a terrorist attack, or even the 2008 recession, the current pandemic eschews spatial and temporal boundaries. It has spread on airplanes, in schools, among government bodies, in our homes, hitting our life savings, businesses, families... in short, it has taken over our lives.
A pervasiveness which, necessarily, will also affect the leisure aspect of a trip for a long time, i.e. the holiday dimension . While the human impulse to travel may never disappear, the way we do it will change. Will we ever feel safe again in remote corners of the globe or will we remain anchored to familiar places, a handful of miles from home, in the hope of greater protection?
Nobody knows with certainty the extent of such a legacy in travel, but the entire sector will certainly be forced to rethink itself and face a different global structure. As the global Covid-19 crisis has shown, the kind of carefree travel people expect on holiday requires a functioning, cooperative geopolitical framework, with competent governments capable of predicting and responding to threats. Climate change is one of these, but it is not clear whether the world's superpowers are able to manage it... with probable important repercussions on the future of holidays.
