A new way to travel

A new way to travel, after the global pandemic things will definitely change, and tourism is one of them.

How to travel the world after Covid-19

We have to be responsible more than ever if we want to travel and keep safe. So, adjusting to this new reality will help us keep traveling and even help communities witnessing economic devastation.

The not so obvious

There are some things that might sound obvious, like wearing a face mask or using hand sanitizer, but the thing is that there’s still some people that don’t follow this new social distancing guidelines.

Using a face mask in closed places is a must. Personal hygiene is basic too, having hand sanitizer, washing your hands as much as possible and maybe wearing gloves are things that we must accept every time we travel now.

We have to be conscious with the social distancing guidelines. If you are at the airport, try to keep your distance, that applies to entries or museums. Anywhere. This is our responsibility as society.

Seek for local alternatives

This is the moment to start searching for local support. Instead of looking for those huge chains and hotels, there’s million other places that are even better and private.

That will make it easier for the smaller companies to have more control over their services. That way not only you have more control over where you go, where you are, but help out these smaller businesses that might be going through economic problems.

The use of technology

Technology will be our ally. Electronic transactions will make a safer way for paying goods. There’s plenty of new apps where you don’t even have to take your credit card out, just scan your cellphone and you are good to go.

Into the Wild

After spending more than 3 months in isolation I think nature has got to be in our number one priority.

It’s the perfect moment to choose unusual destinations and start getting active. Planning trips to less crowded places is a must this 2021 where you’ll have the opportunity to experience an outdoor kind of trip.

Big cities can wait while this pandemic gets better, but if you are planning to travel next year there’s plenty of cities and places that offer outdoors activities, like kayaking, hiking, cycling or just enjoying nature as it is.

Vancouver is one of those cities that have the best of both worlds, check this blog out.

Self-Tours or Small Group Tours

I know there’s a lot of people that prefer to travel in tours, and that is the reason why I think tour companies will have to adapt too.

They’ll have to change their practices, become more personal, have a smaller number of groups, have capacity restriction, maybe some distance seating and a very good cleaning facility.

Seek for a tour that offers a good travel insurance, that way you’ll leave less up to chance.

The other option is to search for new itineraries by yourself. Here’s a complete guide of how to spend 3 days in Mexico City on your own.

This new way to travel doesn’t have to be negative, it is the perfect opportunity for you to search for new places and do different things!
