Who would have thought that a virus could wreak such havoc across the world? It all began in Wuhan China and pretty soon, Europe and the US were reporting infections, as strict lockdowns were put into place in an effort to halt the spread of Covid-19. While flights were still operating, tourism suffered a terrible time and for almost 2 years, holidays have been put on hold, as people work from home, and as the vaccines are being rolled out, what does the future hold for the tourism industry?
The post-pandemic world
People will be looking for seclusion when they holiday; rather than booking a resort, fly down to the private yacht charter company in Phuket and spend a few weeks cruising the Andaman Sea. One thing is for sure; once the pandemic is over, there will be a surge in holiday bookings, as people look to catch up on lost rest and relaxation. The cruise industry is expecting a busy season, which will help compensate for the massive maintenance bills while their ships are docked. These floating cities require as much care when idle as they do when carrying a full set of a few thousand passengers and almost 2 years of inactivity takes its toll financially.
Close to Nature
The general shift from traditional resorts and self-contained hotels to something closer to nature is going to be evident, with homestay holiday experiences becoming more and more popular. Spend a week with the Mongolian Steppe people, or live with a Thai fishing family and experience life from their perspective; these holidays will be very popular among young people and that looks like it will continue for a few years. A person might have split with their partner and if you are currently dealing with a broken relationship, here are a few tips to make the transition less painful.
Floating Holidays
When you combine it with a few friends, yacht charter suddenly becomes affordable and with everything included in the price, it works out as a good deal. There are yacht charter firms based in Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore that offer fully crewed luxury yacht charter and they can be found with a Google search. They also provide day trips and you can tailor the route to include spectacular snorkelling around Phi Phi Islands, nestled in the Andaman Sea, while the menus are your choosing. There’s no better way to enjoy seclusion than on your own luxury yacht and you can expect this sector to grow in the coming few years, as more and more people discover the delights of a floating holiday aboard a luxury yacht.
Safaris & Cruises
These are the two sectors that are expected to grow, as holidaymakers move closer to nature and floating entertainment complexes that travel the best regions of the planet. Prior to booking any holiday, check with the World Health Organisation regarding Covid-19, otherwise you might encounter problems.
