How Tourism will flourish in the Post-COVID Era

 


The whole world has suffered greatly due to the Covid-19 pandemic. It’s an unprecedented situation, where no country was ready to face such hardship, economic and social loss. One of the worst sectors that have been badly hit has been the Hospitality and the tourism sector.

The association of people across borders has emanated to a standstill mode in much of the domain as nations have shut their borders to tourists, in reaction to the coronavirus outbreak. Immense fear has set in among the general public, where they are even scared to get out of their own homes.

A lot of sweeping changes have taken place and every country has taken certain steps to make sure that the urge of every human being for exploration is not kept on hold. Therefore, for the tourism and hospitality sector to flourish here are some of the steps and norms that will become normal from now on are:

Indians were greatly fond of travel to Europe, and many nations in that region are completely and solely dependent on tourism and therefore, the no-touch rule has been implemented in a lot many such sectors, to ensure and guarantee that people can travel safely without coming into physical contact with anyone. But there is also no denying the fact that the travel fascination may regress because of all the grim news that has been coming from the continent in previous months. It will take a bit of time for these countries to regain their charisma.

 Business tourism will drop ominously. Already zoom and Webinars have converted to be the norm. It will take a while for global business and corporate traveling to become regular again. Hence, to restart the process of business traveling, the companies have started to use travel adversaries, through which the corporate travellers can judge the countries that are safer to travel and in this way keep them updated with regular in-depth information regarding the countries they seek to travel for work.


The Group travels will surely get the biggest hit, which the South Asian countries, especially the Indians are so fond of. The sub-continent was becoming steadily a huge group travel market for middle-class families. But after this epidemic, the group traveling might become the norm of the past. As most of the hotels and tourist sectors will also not appreciate such a form of traveling as it is not safe anymore to travel in such a form. Moreover, under the new guidelines, most hotel chains have maintained strict guest lists and protocols, which the clients and guests need to follow. As they are trying to revive their own business, the laws and norms will become extremely stricter.



In the coming years, we will see a steep rise in the prices of flight bookings as air travel will become costly. As safety and the revival of business go hand in hand, therefore it’s imperative that for the airline industry to revive there should be certain rules and regulations that should be altered. Like in most flights these days, the middle seat is left empty, and probably it will remain so, for some time to come.

 

The bottom line is the key 5 points that every country across the globe needs to keep in mind and even the travellers if the tourism sector has any chance of flourishing in such a critical situation.

·         Safety: equally the awareness and genuineness of the hospitality and tourism industry will matter the most

·         Health: government of every country universally should introduce mandatory checks for every visitor, setting foot on foreign land, to ensure that they are healthy and will not cause any harm.

·         Hygiene: The hospitality sector should not make any compromises on cleanliness and sanitation

·         Brands: The hotel chains that will outlook themselves for quality and excellence will win

·         Value: The new mantra after the pandemic should be more about saving money and cutting down on undue travel expenses.

Covid-19 pandemic has taught us that, all those organizations which have a creative and flexible structure will survive and deal with this critical scenario in a much better way, compared to others. Therefore, it is the capability to manage with modification, cope with the fresh standard that will show you results and will bring success to your doorstep. The hospitality sector will start to flourish again, even though the process is slow, but as the saying goes “Slow and steady wins the race”
