Covid-19: why travel will never be the same

Covid-19 has devastated global travel and-as the industry recovers from the effects of the pandemic-tourism will be increasingly localised and complicated. This won’t just affect foreign holidays; it could disrupt the workings of the globalised world. Read more here: econ.st/3gJ0O8f

    Agreed. I travelled all over last year and everyone thought it was too much. Now I'm so blessed to have ignored everyone and travelled a lot as it won't be the same again (or at least it's going to take a long time for it to come close to Pre-Covid)

    @Ian Mann uhm "ever"? Disregarding the fact that many countries like Japan for example are open RIGHT NOW and trying to stimulate tourism, once this pandemic is over at least leisure travel at least thr long haul part will recover (I hope short trips more by train). I plan to go to Japan in a few years 😁

    Japan is beautiful, and the flight was very expansieve already 2013. With current climate it woud be more expansieve. I am 55 and did a lot of travelling in my days I always say I living in a golden age. But even for the pandanmic You see the cracks already, flight shaming, it is slowing become a rich thing again to fly we are running out of oil ect. My father saved for this yourney to indonesian, when he was in his early 50's, he was from 1923, I was 25 and already was to crete and .egypt. I traveled a lot over seas and I hope to this for a time, but yes it will changing.

    It’s been almost 2 years since this video was uploaded. Nothing has changed, but maybe gotten more worse. 2 years of no travelling has left a toll on me. I feel that next time I go on holiday I must appreciate it as much as possible. I feel old and changed. I don’t feel like that guy who I used to be, travelling the world with my loved ones and telling stories to all my friends. Dozing off in school, imagining the next holiday to Casablanca or Antalya, letting my imagination run wild, only to be more amazed than what I thought. Meeting locals and learning their way of life and the scenery that makes me feel like I’m in a movie. The mountains filled with green. Everything I saw online was never even close to my experiences. The delicious fahitas that makes me never feel the same again. I feel great sadness that covid hit now but now I understand I shouldn’t take my experiences for granted.

    To be fair we were heading into a downward spiral in terms of how globalization wasn't caring for the inevitable environmental crisis. While we can evolve around COVID and get to treatments or a vaccine we can't recover easily from catastrophic earthquakes, rising temperatures that damaged roads and buildings, or floods that take over areas people live in. While we can all agree that the economic repercussions will be brutal and scary we also have to understand that we need to redesign elements of this system because quite possibly if we don't the consequences will be even worse.

Also, places like Sweden that didn't undergo lockdown protocols might get blocked by other countries who did and use this mechanism to protect its people. I highly doubt that travel will return to any noticeable level this calendar year. Until a vaccine isn't in its final stages to be sold I doubt we will see international travel come back.

    Are you sure about this, Dave? Wouldn't the prices of hotels and cafes raise with the airfare? Wouldn't those other industries want to recoup their loses? I was looking at a November stay in San Juan, Puerto Rico for the month of November (2020.) The airfare was reasonable (SouthWest) but the hotel (La Concha) was outrageous. More expensive than the previous year. I think a lot of stay at home travelers have saved their money, looking at the end of the pandemic. The hotels, restaurants and cafes know this, so, the prices edge up.

    Personal opinion: I don't think we'll ever fully go back to the way things were. But that's not necessarily a bad thing. Once we fully adapt to the lockdown, we will probably see a world that's safer, more controlled and more productive than the one before. Chances of violence and the contraction of other diseases will decrease, and less work hours will be spent on traveling, among other things. I believe we're experiencing the ”growing pains” of this transition now. People will start feeling better about this eventually.

Journalists tend to exaggerate in order to sell their stories, so this video speculates about more extreme scenarios than what will probably occur. For example, the idea that commercial aviation will return to how it was 50+ years ago is absurd. However, we should expect significant disruptive changes for the next few years, as was the case after 911.

    The thought that international travel may not return to pre pandemic levels for years if ever is a very depressing thought 😭 Fingers crossed you're wrong. 🤞
