As the Vaccination roll-outs are now underway around the world, but when it comes to the recovery of leisure travel, we’re a long way from being out of the woods however promising it is. While travel experts are optimistic that things will slowly begin to open up again this year, how quickly that happens will depend on where you are, where you want to travel to, and if the virus and its mutant strains are able to be brought under control.
With so much uncertainty about the new normal in the Travel and Tourism Industry, the most advisable course of action in most parts of the world still rotates around safety with a few restrictions still in place in many destinations. However, in looking towards the future
Experts globally continue to predict a huge spike in travel in late 2021 as vaccinations become available on a large scale. There will be some hiccups as the travel industry rebounds and figures out how to address the long-term strategy of addressing Covid-19, but overall we should expect things to return to a relatively normal state by mid-2022.
However, the recovery will certainly be subject to a few constants and among which are;
- Domestic travel is already reopening in some countries and is likely to be in full swing by summer 2021.
- International travel will depend a little on how the rollout of the COVID-19 vaccine goes worldwide
- Vaccinated travelers will be the first to be welcomed back with open arms.
Generally, the Travel and Tourism industry recovery process is projected to be gradual and shall not pick on the same pace across the globe reflecting the current distribution of vaccines that is still uneven.
The current growth in the hike in the number of international travelers and booking as reported by The International Air Transport Association (AITA) shows a rather promising near future than anticipated
