In our opinion, the Travel world will change forever once we resolve the danger with travel.
Also, you should expect interesting revelations will soon mould into new travel standards.
How will we travel after COVID-19? Here are 7 trends that we think will influence your travels as the world unlocks.
1. Domestic trips on the rise
Everyone is experiencing stress in the current time moreover the hectic WFH calendar has blurred the line of sanity! The anxiety has kicked in and people are starting to feel suffocated in their own homes, let alone having some leisure time. Once economies get a hold on the widespread circumstances and our ongoing battle against the virus is won, people will try to satisfy the urge by travelling to hidden gems nearby. It is not only good for the inbound industry but would also create money supply in the market
2. Business travels = A big maybe
Zoom and Google meet have made businesses reconsider conferences, if not in the long run then at least for a few years. The MICE and conferences have suffered a savage blow unlike any other division of the industry. Corporate Travel might find some success in short company trips in nature but full-fledged conventions would take quite some time to make a comeback.
3. Mature travellers will be missing for a while:
Once the travel opportunities open for all, one group of travellers is more expected to skip on the vacation plans for a longer period. The older age groups are most vulnerable and could be opting out of the travel pursuits for some time.
4. Road trips are ON!
While mature travellers might be missed, we should expect a major increase in young travellers willing to travel, locally. The concept of a road trip is very common, reasonably because it is extremely convenient and feels personal.
Maybe by a car, even a motorcycle, or any other means, exploring the locations in the country with total autonomy and flexibility, it’s something the youth is looking forward to, once the restrictions are lifted.
5. Hygienic 'staycation' everyone needs
Ever since the pandemic started, the WFH schedule has led a majority of the population to emotional and mental exhaustion. There is aggravating travel demand, people want to travel as soon as it opens. If the industry can deliver, it would be a great success for everyone. This could, magnificently, control the damage of the wallowing economy as well. Although a farsighted system needs to be in place for everyone’s safety, where the staff and client interaction is minimal and the travellers come prepared with their COVID-19 certificates. These are just the bare bone requirements but the prospects are glowing.
6. Close to Nature tourism:
The new travel trend is bringing people closer to natural terrains while keeping them isolated, It brings an opportunity as well as a challenge for DMCs. Unlike mainstream tourism, the travellers wish to experience nature at its purest. While practising Responsible tourism, agents ought to hold our environment safe.
This trend is the definition of ‘food for the soul’ and of interest to a huge base of backpack travellers. In light of the pandemic, it will allow people to practise social distancing as well as discover their spiritual selves in the process and connect with nature.
7. Quantity over quality
The title might seem like a rather unpopular quote or even make the experience appear unworthy. As it gives rise to having multiple micro-vacations instead of one lavish extravagant trip, it could be the most common and widely accepted version. The tourists intend to indulge in luxury as a part of their tour and are willing to pay for the high-quality experiences, what needs to be accounted for is the risk involved in taking long-distance or even International trips, for a couple of months at least.
This suggests that instead of planning one typical annual trip, Travel Agents could experience high demand for multiple short tours, closer to home, throughout the year.
